Demon Research Initiative

The Demon Research Initiative was a secret agency of the United States government that was created during World War II in order to monitor demon activity and develop methods to control vampires in order to use them against Nazi Germany.

In 1943, Mr. Fury, an agent of the DRI, forcibly recruited Angel to recuperate a T-Class prototype U-boat which housed the results of the Third Reich'w own research on vampires. Angel's mission was a partial success, as the submarine reached U.S. waters but the documents containing the research were destroyed by Spike.

In the following decades, the Demon Research Initiative evolved into The Initiative, an agency devoted to the creation of supersoldiers.
