In the 1940's, towards the end of World War Two, he was embroiled with a member of the Giovanni family concerning their knowledge of Wraiths and Spirits. The two had been exchanging barbs and minor attacks for the majority of the war but towards the end Blackwell decided to make his move and hopefully steal a great portion of the Giovanni's library. The two fought as the Allies were liberating Rome and the surrounding territories. One stray mortar was the only thing that ended the fight - and nearly killed Blackwell in the process. Thankfully he was able to make off with the remains of the Giovanni's library and retreated back to England to recover. Unfortunately for him his underground haven was covered in the collapse of the building above it and what should have been a brief slumber lasted for nearly sixty years. Returning to the world in the early years of the new millennium has been quite a shock.
