Sabbath was indoctrinated into the Service in [[1762]] at the age of 21. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Adventuress of Henrietta Street (novel)|The Adventuress of Henrietta Street]]'', [[AUDIO]]: ''[[Sabbath Dei (audio story)|Sabbath Dei]]'') He specialised in engineering of the occult geometry of the Masonic movements. He was inducted on a Saturday (which may have inspired his Confirmation Name, by the Jewish cabbalistic trend in the Service) by being bound with thirteen chains, thirteen locks, and thirteen garters; covered with a hood of black sackcloth; hung with three hundred pounds of lead; and dropped into the Thames. He was certain of his death, and he believed he saw a vast Leviathan passing over him as a shadow while he lay on the bottom of the river, though that may have been the darkness of unconsciousness. He never emerged from the river, and he was presumed dead. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Adventuress of Henrietta Street]]'') However, he was saved from this certain death to be used as a tool for off-planet powers: ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Sometime Never... (novel)|Sometime Never]]'') he appeared dry and unharmed at Cambridge the following morning.

Later that year, Sabbath attended the [[Hellfire Club]]'s ball at [[Medenham Abbey]], where he challenged Cousin [[Christine Summerfield|Eliza]] to a game of pontoon where the loser of each hand would have to give a truthful answer to the winner's question. He forfeited the match when asked who his employer was, and he advised Eliza to look into the death of [[Mary Culver]].

Later, the [[Earl of Bute]] instructed Sabbath to investigate the [[Supplication of the Anakim]] ritual, which was reportedly performed by Mary Culver prior to her death; Sabbath performed the supplication ritual on himself and, rather than becoming fully possessed, simply became driven to serve the [[Great Houses]] by bringing Justine to justice. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Sabbath Dei (audio story)|Sabbath Dei]]'') He found Justine at [[St James' Square]] and transformed the architecture into a courtroom in the jurisdiction of the Houses. When Justine challenged the validity of the [[Grandfather Paradox|Grandfather]]'s crimes in the light of [[Lolita]]'s violations of the protocols of history, Sabbath summoned [[Lolita]] to the courtroom to hear her testimony; after this testimony, met with no objection from the Great Houses' representatives, he dismissed Lolita and condemned Justine to the [[Homeworld]]'s [[Shada|prison planet]]. | Later, the [[Earl of Bute]] instructed Sabbath to investigate the [[Supplication of the Anakim]] ritual, which was reportedly performed by Mary Culver prior to her death; Sabbath performed the supplication ritual on himself and, rather than becoming fully possessed, simply became driven to serve the [[Great Houses]] by bringing Justine to justice.
