History

Adrian Bishop was born and raised in Seattle, Washington. His mother disappeared when Adrian was only 3, and his father refused to tell him anything about what happened. As Adrian grew up, he assumed that his father was just a private investigator. However, Adrian's father was found dead when Adrian was just about to finish college- and what was odd about the death was that his father's cause of death was electrocution....and the corpse was mildly radioactive.

After an investigation by the FBI into why Robert Bishop's corpse was irradiated, the feds came up with nothing and declared the case unsolveable. During this time, the will of Robert Bishop was being read to his children. Adrian and Lynda Bishop were given a key to a storage room that contained three things: a box containing a pair of rings, an antique cane-sword, and a leather bound journal.

The journal revealed that the Bishop family was part of a long line of Devil Summoners that could be traced back to the Revolutionary War, with the rings passed down from generation to generation as implements for containing and controlling demons. Robert also wrote that his wife was not dead as many thought, but another Devil Summoner who had went to a city in Japan called Sanyo to investigate supernatural phenomena and never came back.

Robert had wanted Adrian and Lynda to work together to continue the work of the Bishop summoners, each taking one of the summoning rings. However, Lynda wanted none of it- she was on track to get a doctorate, and wanted nothing to do with the world of the occult. Figuring someone had to look into what happened to their mother, Adrian took the implements and prepared for his move to Sanyo, taking correspondence courses on the Japanese language and getting a license as a private investigator.

Adrian left Seattle behind, and now currently runs the Bishop Investigation Agency.
