The English Branch of the Hellfire Club, founded in London, consisten of a Red and Black Inner Circle Families, as within the American Branch in New York has White and Black Inner Circle Families.
With Black
Air's (the British Intelligence agency), aid, the English Inner Circle captured Douglock and tried to use him as a
power source, for their Red Queen (Margali) to summon a demon of great strength. Within London, everyone went crazy and started doing horible things such as murdering and robbing. With Shadowcat's (Kathrine Pryde of Excalibur) intelligence, they found a way to save Douglock as Rahne Sinclaire (Wolfsbane) disconnected the link betweeen Margali and Douglock. While this was going on the mutant
possessor Mountjoy
was busy trying to consume the Hellfire Club. Captain
Britain (Brian Braddock, or Britanic) stopped him. Afterwards, it was apparent that Excalibur defeated Black Air and the English Branch of the Inner Circle.
