Adderly background

Adderly

V.H. Adderly, a former secret agent, is relegated to a desk job at the Department of Miscellaneous Affairs after suffering from a damaged left hand, a result of enemy torture. He is frustrated by the routine tasks he is given.

V.H. Adderly, a former spy, is assigned to a desk job in the Department of Miscellaneous Affairs after suffering a disability from torture. Despite his mundane tasks, Adderly consistently uncovers national security threats and spies. His boss, Melville Greenspan, is a risk-averse bureaucrat who prioritizes protocol and filling out forms over taking action. Meanwhile, department clerk Mona is eager for excitement and often helps Adderly on his assignments, sometimes with Greenspan's permission.
