'''Seeker7'''
 
'''Seeker7'''
−
A thin, wiry man in his 20s who shaves rarely and dresses in casual clothes and sandals. Acting Hierarch until a new one has been voted in. Obsessed with/talking the previous Hierarch, Helena, who is missing presumed dead. Seeker7 is an awakened hacker that uses magic to connect to various systems, break the encryption, and seize control. His obsessive nature makes him both a good and terrible Hierarch, depending on the situation.

DECEASED. A thin, wiry man in his 20s who shaved rarely and dressed in casual clothes and sandals. Acting Hierarch until The Forge was voted in. Was obsessed with/talking the previous Hierarch, Helena, who is still missing presumed dead. Seeker7 was an awakened hacker that uses magic to connect to various systems, break the encryption, and seize control. His obsessive nature made him both a good and terrible Hierarch, depending on the situation. He was shot and killed by the Age of Reason in May 2013.

'''Carter'''
+
'''[[Carter]]'''
−
A near-starving lady in her 30s who wears black trousers and a simple shirt. She wears a silver pendant depicting the Egyptian eye of Horus. The warden of the previous concillium and, currently, the only known survivor. Known to be a master of life (and either death or spirit, depending on who you ask), she was rescued from an Abyssal labyrinth inside a mirror. She claims to have seen half of the other mages slowly descend into madness and death inside the labyrinth, and is appears rather unhinged by her experience. Whereabouts in Armidale are currently unknown.
+
MIA. Last heard (but not seen) getting on an train in an 'impossible' subway station tainted by the abyss. Report all sightings to the local concillium.
  
−
'''Icarus'''
+
'''Herald4'''
−
A middle age man who always wears a hat and a buttoned blue shirt. Looks physically weak, but has a permanent scowl and steely look to his face. A high-status Mastigos from the Adamantine Arrow sent to advise the current concillium on matters of war with the Age of Reason. Seems to want to avoid magical war at any cost. Has left Armidale until such time that he is needed again.
+
Member of Seeker7's previous cabal, sharing the same naming convention. Has an electronic-only presence in maintaining 'IC' sections of wiki. Will not reveal any more details to you. Go away.
  
 +
'''[[Icarus]]'''
 +
A high-status Mastigos from the Adamantine Arrow sent to advise the current concillium on matters of war with the Age of Reason. Hierarch before Helenna took over in 2004. NOT amused with the state of the current concillium.

'''"Chad"'''

The only known member of the Age of Reason Cabal, large American guy who likes to talk about the Age of Reason's lofty Goals

He was first seen sitting on the Hierarch's chair as Seeker7 and the other investigators entered the concillium for the first time to investigate the missing mages, and claimed to literally be "Carter's Familliar". He also claims to be unkillable - demonstrating the ability to die and return later in a new body, leaving behind the corpse of a mundane cat. He has demonstrated sorcerous abilities with a 'dark magic' paradigm. Cutting people with a flick knife is his preferred method of attack, always preferring to hurt the victim rather than kill them. Has been revealed as a murderer using time/death magic - though the reasons for this deed/identity of the deceased have not been investigated. Last seen making a deal with most of the concillium mages - release of a mage-hostage in return for access to the Astral Mirror - a portal to the human subconscious.

Hi guys,
 
−
 
−
Seeker7 here. I'm updating this section with what I've found on the previous concillium people, including the email I sent to my fellow investigators. Unfortunately these guys weren't big on documenting their own history very well, or at least, I haven't found it yet. There's almost nothing on the personal computers of these guys, so I'm beginning to think they were all paranoid jerks. It's not really my thing, so I guess it'll be up to you guys to find out what everyone was like or not.

Feel free to update this section with anything we learn.

''In light of the recent investigation into the Armidale Domain, I have decided to provide the Hierarch’s notes to all Atlantean Magi investigating the mysterious communication loss with the Armidale domain. With regret, I do not most of the fine men and women of the Armidale Domain and these notes seem a little redacted. Perhaps they are incomplete or meant for a specific person, other than Helena herself? In any case, that is all that I have to offer you for now. Helena was left off this list so I’ll provide my own impressions.''

'''Helena'''  - A world-renowned awakened artist and member of the free council. She is recognised as a master of Prime and is responsible for many imbued items of wondrous beauty.  She is a valued and trusted member of the international mage community and her judgement to date has been faultless. She is gentle in her words yet strong in her actions.

Please do your very best to find our missing people and you will be rewarded accordingly.

−
'''Carter''' – Recognised as a dual master of Spirit and Death. Not formally recognised as being part of the Atlantean traditions but granted sanctuary from the Seers of the Throne in the Armidale Domain. Unusual legacy involving spirits, treat with caution. Abrasive personality. Reported missing two months before the rest of the concillium.
 
  
−
'''Disciple''' – Recognised as an adept of prime. In good standing as a member of the Guardians of the Veil. Reliable for errands, friendly to strangers. Too friendly.
+
The previous concillium all died though two seemingly unrelated events, a deadly magical fungus that reanimated corpses, and an abyssal mirror that seemed to grant wishes, but transported the wisher and anyone nearby into an abyssal reflection of Armidale.
  
−
'''Frank''' – No advanced training in the arcana. Initiate into the Silver ladder. Trainer in the rapier/nationally-renowned fencer. Loner.

−
'''Lord''' – Master of Forces and Prime, well respected both as an obrimos and adamantine arrow. Owed 112 tass for active concillium duties. Newish arrival in the Domain. Big asshole, but incredibly capable. Big political pull within AA and also locally. Older than he looks by 30 years. Not friendly with Pretender.

'''Pretender''' – Recognised as senior Mastigos for the Armidale domain, owes 7 tass for partially unpaid debt. Has been officially censured for protocol breaches as of 6 months ago. Despite recognition and notioriety amongst the Armidale domain, no official recognition of magical abilities have been made. Lord’s least favourite person. The two constantly bicker. Am willing to bet they have a history older than their time in Armidale.
