Short Biography
Eric Arthur Roberts (18 June 1907 - 17 or 18 December 1972) was an MI5 agent during the Second World War under the alias Jack King. By posing as a Gestapo agent, and infiltrating fascist groups in the UK, Roberts was able to prevent secret information finding its way to Germany. Roberts continued to work for the security services after the war, notably in Vienna, but it was a time of great anxiety in the services due to the suspicions surrounding double agents such as the Cambridge Five. Roberts never felt completely accepted by MI5 due to his different social background, and moving to a less active desk role did not suit him so well as his wartime role.
