The Good, the Bad and the Mediochre
The MIPF get mentioned several times before they appear in person. When Charlotte is taken to St Merlin's University to meet Joseph and Dhampinella, Joseph tells an anecdote about the time Mediochre brought down the world's biggest dragon-slaying organisation in a single blow, explaining that by punching the fire alarm Mediochre caused the perpetrators to evacuate the building directly into the hands of the MIPF. Beth Diamond later calls the MIPF to apprehend an SSS mercenary, and Rowan calls them after a pair of SSS members attempt to take her and Melinda hostage. Mediochre then instructs Joseph to call the MIPF when they discover Maelstrom in the forest.

A squad of MIPF officers finally appear on page, to apprehend a second group of SSS members who have targeted Rowan and Melinda. Later the MIPF raid the Sapphire Storage Facility in Leith where they get attacked by Missile Bees, erupting into a big mancy fight. Mediochre and his gang use the distraction to rescue Glint (who is still an egg at this point) from the facility. Although all of Mediochre's gang escape unharmed, several MIPF officers get caught in the explosion during the Tempomancer's destruction of the Sapphire Storage Facility. More MIPF arrive, including Mohammed Ansari (commander of special ops), to cordon off the scene of the explosion and escort the various wounded to hospital, arresting several SSS members in the process. They don't manage to arrest either Mr Antler or the Tempomancer, who escape by steal one of the MIPF's cars.

Hélène calls the MIPF at Joseph's instruction when the SSS and Maelstrom converge on Deep Ocean's Cave. In true MIPF fashion, they only actually arrive on the scene after the SSS members have already been taken out by Dhampinella and (to a lesser extent) Hélène. The MIPF then take Mediochre and the rest of the gang, some of whom are unconscious by this point, to Doctor Modern's hospital, and then to James Chrome.

The current chief of the Edinburgh MIPF, probably not actually named "Steven", is present at the debriefing meeting held by Queen MAB, after the SSS and Maelstrom threats have been neutralised. He tries to blame Mediochre for the SSS operation going sideways, seven MIPF officers had died over the course of the mission, but he is unsuccessful and none of the gang are apprehended.

It is mentioned that one of Rowan's contacts in the MIPF leaked to her the fact that Isobel Williams was genetically the daughter of Kiwi Mashuga.
