Eda Initial Stage history[]
In West Germany at the U.S. Army site Camp King, the U.S. Army and CIA used the place during the Cold War as an interrogation center. There, Stainton managed several brainwashing experiments on people under Project Bluebird, later renamed Project Artichoke. Initially, Stainton and other CIA agents conducted experiments on enemies and foreign spies, but they additionally extended their experiments onto refugees, exiles, criminals, and homeless people. Later when he became a CIA agent, Harold Meyer had found out in the reports that his parents and sister, whom he had fled East Germany with, were some of the test subjects at the site and had died, shocking him. At that time, Meyer already had started his own family and was already loyal to the United States, so he chose not to confront Stainton or anyone else involved in the project.[1]
Wandering Old Case Officer[]
After Project Artichoke ended and he had retired from the CIA, Stainton became involved in charity work for disabled children. In the United States some years later, Meyer himself decided to track down Stainton to get revenge after his wife and children had died. Reading about Stainton and his recent charity work in a Pennsylvanian newspaper, Meyer used the info to track down his whereabouts.[2] At Stainton's house, Meyer only met Stainton's wife and asked her where he would be, so the unsuspecting wife told Meyer about how he would give a lecture regarding his work at a building. When Eda and Amber Whinberry tried to stop Meyer and were forced to flee, the two women traveled to Lansdale, Pennsylvania and warned Stainton about Meyer's desire to kill him, asking him what the connection between the two of them was.
Stainton replied that he might have heard Meyer's name somewhere, confessing that he would be lying if he stated that he did not feel guilty about his actions during his agent days. Clarifying that he could not say anything openly about his previous work, Stainton remarked that his charity work basically served as atonement for his time in the CIA. Later the next day, Stainton went to the large building and gave his lecture to many people attending. Afterward, a few people briefly spoke with him to thank him for his speech and his moving words. Informing Stainton that he would get his car, his assistant apologized to him for having him wait in a small room, but the ex-agent had no problem. Alone, Stainton turned around and was scared to see Meyer, who pointed his pistol at him and ordered him to sit down. As Meyer tied him to a chair, Stainton calmly asked him why he was chasing him, but he was interrupted by Meyer applying a tight restraint around his neck.
Standing behind Stainton and placing his arms on his shoulders, Meyer in turn asked him if he forgot the horrible things that he did at Camp King in the Juster Mansion, making his eyes widen. At that point, Eda and Amber entered the room with their guns drawn, prompting Meyer in turn to point his pistol at Stainton's head. As Meyer furiously explained his grudge against Stainton and how it was a joke that he of all people got praised as a good person despite his CIA experiments, he prepared to shoot Stainton in the back of the head until Amber tossed a smoke grenade near him. Distracted by the smoke, Meyer tried firing at the two women, but they charged at and disarmed him. Later, Stainton was untied while Meyer was arrested by police and only charged with criminal trespassing. Seeing the two agents, the ex-agent thanked the women for saving his life, and Eda tried to calm the tension by joking that his charity work seemed rough if he had to deal with people like Meyer. Remaining tense, Stainton responded that they had no idea how threatened the United States felt by the Soviet Union during the Cold War. He then contemplated about how his determination carried a lot of guilt, and he left.[1]
