Origin[]

Known for his ruthless methods as a Union Organizer, Jimmy Hoffa was an important figure in the International Brotherhood of Teamsters during the 1950s and 60s. As national vice president, he secured a national agreement for Teamsters’ rates in 1964 and helped the organization grow into the largest labor union by membership. Hoffa was also involved with organized crime and was imprisoned for five years when he was pardoned by president Richard Nixon but was also forced to step down from his role in the Teamsters. He later disappeared outside a Detroit restaurant, the Machus Red Fox (which is now in Warehouse possession) and has never been seen again.

Effects[]

When combed through the hair the user will disappear the next day with only their clothes left behind. Most people cannot be located after use, although a few have been found years after their disappearance date.

Agent Felix is currently asking the Regents to use it with a willing test subject attached with a GPS enabled device.
