Bucksnort was a small American town, state unknown, where the Millennium Group would send candidates who they felt were ready to learn more about the true nature of evil. Just beyond the town limits of Bucksnort roamed a pack of supernatural, quite possibly demonic, dogs. Knowing this, the Old Man, the most senior member of the Millennium Group, resided in a small cabin on the outskirts of town. He would guide potential Group members, including Frank Black (MM: "Beware of the Dog") and Lara Means (MM: "Monster"), in understanding the dogs.
