The base and organization of "Altrove" (meaning "Elsewhere") was founded in 1776 by future US president Thomas Jefferson and scientist Benjamin Franklin, with the help of Amanda Janosz , a fortune teller of European descent, and Jean-Louis Bientôt, a French adventurer. Among the many agents and employees " above suspicion " there have been both historical figures , such as Edgar Allan Poe and Garibaldi , or popular fictional characters, such as Sherlock Holmes and Abraham Van Helsing.
