Circa 1400
Evidence gathered by RED-41 suggests it has been here since before the mid 13th century. Written evidence does not appear until some time in 1400 in manuscripts from France that make reference to a creature matching its description. They refer to it as a demon, and imply they have been aware of it for some time. These documents report that it was captured by the church and contained in a dungeon. Attempts to exorcise it lead nowhere.
Information on exactly where this took place could not be found.

Dr. Himmel,
I have been considering what we discussed and I'm afraid that I am going to have to decline your request.
My dear friend, please understand that I do not take this lightly. I have always admired your work. The field of cryptozoology needs more brilliant minds like yours and we hope you continue to shine a light on the things that would prefer to lurk in the dark.
Despite this, we simply cannot allow you to publish your latest paper. I trust you understand why. Redactions won't be possible, I'm afraid, any removal of context would make your work incomprehensible. We wouldn't want the public to think you a lunatic, now would we?
Joking aside, I truly am sorry. Despite what it may seem, our organization does not have any interest in stifling information of any kind. Let alone research in our field of interest. It is just a sensitive time, considering last week's events at The Churn.
I look forward to another stimulating chat over a large glass of that good scotch of yours.
Sincerely,
