King's Tower is an office building in London that includes the Mossad's London headquarters.
History[]
Scarecrow[]
Some time after the King's Tower was built in London, the Mossad established a secret headquarters for their agents to be able to operate out of. To cover their purchase of the 38th to 40th floors of the tower, the Mossad established a front law practise known as Goldman, Marcus & Meyer Lawyers, which was a genuine law firm for its employees. For the Mossad's own use, they used three private offices on the 39th floor that were declared off-limits to the lawyers who worked for GM&ML, and which were used as interrogation and briefing offices.
While the Mossad managed to keep their partial occupation of the tower largely a secret, some global intelligence and military organisations, as well as mercenary and bounty hunting groups, suspected that the truth.
In October 2003, the Mossad agent Benjamin Rosenthal was recalled to the King's Tower so that he could debrief his superiors on what he had learned about Majestic-12, their plans to start a new Cold War and the fifteen targets M-12 had ordered hunted down, including Rosenthal.
One of the other targets on M-12's list, Shane Schofield sent two of his fellow Marines, Mother and Book II, to the King's Tower to speak with Rosenthal about the bounty hunt.
When Mother and Book II arrived at their offices, the receptionist initially denied knowing Rosenthal, however after receiving a phone call from someone surveying them, she informed the Marines that someone would come to speak with them. Unfortunately, the IG-88 then arrived and opened fire, and Mother and Book II were the only ones to escape the MetalStorm fire. As the Demon searched the Mossad's offices for Rosenthal, the two Marines managed to find Rosenthal and attempted to get him to safety.
While Mother took on a number of IG-88 operatives, Book II got Rosenthal to the roof, however the Mossad agent was killed. After Mother defeated her opponents, she returned to the office they'd found Rosenthal in and grabbed the intelligence files the Mossad agent had accumulated, and then left the tower with Book II.

Mossad Offices[]
Occupying the top three floors of the tower, the 38th, 39th and 40th floors are home to the Mossad's secret headquarters in London. To the public's knowledge, it is the legal firm Goldman, Marcus & Meyer Lawyers who owns the floors, which is a genuine business. Three offices on the 39th floor are used by the Mossad for debriefing, interrogation and surveillance.
