he Men in Black are a sect which, ever |
since the dawn of civilization, has been determined to destroy everything that is
"different" or which could overturn the established way of thinking: proof of |
 |
the existence
of UFOs, proof of the existence of an advanced civilization prior to ours,
historical and scientific findings that don't accord with commonly held and
generally accepted assumptions proclaimed by the "Establishment". The Men in
Black are infiltrated at top levels in political, industrial, cultural and
religious organizations and they secretly mold the development of history.
They owe their name to the fact that during their missions they wear black
suits, ties and glasses. For a certain period, Martin Mystère's father
belonged to the Men in Black, believing that their aims were positive;
but then, when he discovered the real nature of this sect, he rebelled and
quit the sect. The next day he was killed together with his wife in a mysterious
plane crash.

Sergej Orloff
is considered by everyone to be a Maecenas - a patron of the arts - and a benefactor;
only Martin Mystère knows that behind his respectable façade there hides an
unscrupulous assassin. Martin and Sergej were friends for many years, and together
they were disciples of Kut Humi, who supplied each of them with a weapon equipped
with a special ray. They share the same interests and they have the same kind of
knowledge,
|
but at a certain point Orloff directed his knowledge towards evil ends. His face was badly disfigured in a fire,
so he now hides his face behind a mask, and he also has an artificial arm, where he
keeps his weapon. He's a character full of contradictions, very complex and always
"in progress".

Mr. Jinx
is a sort of "technological Devil" who uses modern computer science to dabble in
the most secret and forbidden aspirations of mankind. As in traditional "pacts with
the devil", his inventions inevitably end up wreaking their effects on the reckless
people who dare to try them out.
