John Dee

John Dee is a very cunning magician, who formerly was the greatest Human agent of the Dark Elders, but now is a rouge agent.

Biography
Dee was the champion astrologer for Queen Elizabeth I, and chose the date for her coronation. He signed his messages as a spy of the queen '007'. Dee became the apprentice of Nicholas Flamel, but the greatest Dark Elder made Dee immortal, and he was sent against Flamel to recover the Codex. Two waves of killers failed, and the Flamels fled to London. In 1666, Dee finally found them, and loosed a Fire Elemental in the city. In 1763, Dee chased the Flamels out of Paris, and out of Rome in 1835. In the 1840s, Dee managed to control the Wight army, and sent Disease and Hunger to Ireland where the Flamels were. The Flamels escaped as Dee lost control of the Wights, causing the Potato Famine. In Newfoundland, Dee released Dire Wolves on the Flamels. In 1901, Dee lost the Flamels.

Creating three Golems once the Flamels had been located in San Francisco in 2007, Dee entered with them into The Small Book Shop. There he met Flamel and Josh Newman. Flamel quickly created some magic blasts to cut through the Golems, and while Dee was distracted, he pulled Josh into the cellar as Dee followed. Right then, Sophie Newman and Perenelle Flamel entered. Perenelle destroyed a Golem, and Flamel and Josh ran in. Perenelle was weakened, so Dee attacked, and managed to rest the Codex from Flamel. Josh ripped off the last two pages, and Dee easily defeated Sophie before his two Golem warriors took Perenelle away.

In his limo, Dee sent a photo of Perenelle to a Dark Elder, and trapped her under a warding spell. Sending the photo to his master, Dee got a call. Looking in the Codex, he saw that Josh had ripped the Final Summoning from the book. Calling the Dark Elder again, Dee told him that he needed the Morrigan. Letting the Golems go with Eyes, rats and crows, Dee used soda to scry through the lead rat using soda. Dee then glimpsed Sophie and Josh, and told the Eyes and Golems to utterly destroy Flamel and the twins. After two Golems were destroyed, Dee controlled a third one, and panicked as Scathach attacked and defeated the Golem. Controlling the rat again, Dee challenged Flamel, but couldn't get the rats to him as Flamel caused trees to grow from the wood flooring.
