NPCs associated with the Armidale concillium

Seeker7 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.

Herald4 Member of Seeker7's previous cabal, sharing the same naming convention. Has an electronic-only presence in maintaining this wiki. Will not reveal any more details to you. Go away.

Icarus 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.

The Age of Reason

"We first learned of them when we found this letter on the wall of our concillium, next to the hierarch's chair." -S7

The Age of Reason want all mankind to ascend by introducing Supernal concepts into the fallen world using mundane science, and, if it comes to that they're prepared to fight the Atlantean mages to do it. When Seeker7 and other mages used magic publically, Seeker7 had his knee shot out by a sniper in the Mall of Armidale in broad daylight. Two months later, Seeker7 was murdered with a double shot to the head. The assassin was tracked walking to a dumpster in town, where is fell apart into a collection of cheap circuit boards with a plastic latex skin covering.

The original letter is reprinted here:

Followers of the Atlantean traditions of Armidale,

We regret to inform you of the unfortunate situation that we find ourselves in. We understand that many of your colleagues have disappeared, along with some of our own. We have our own investigation under way, and we will let you know if it yields any result. Our internal predictions suggest that you will be bringing new fellows into the area to resume normal operations. In that regard we offer you a simple message on how to get along with our organisation: Obvious use of magic to the unawakened will be considered an act of war against us. By breaking the seal, we note that you have now read this letter. Ignorance is not an excuse.

We are the Age of Reason, and we will elevate humanity to greatness in this world, not the next.

Charles Montgomery, Chief Architect.

Location and holdings

The Age of reason have be found to own "Daedalus Biotechnology" in the New England Technology Park, close to the University, a biotechnology equipment supplier with their own chemical manufacturing labs. They are also known to have large holdings in the investment company "Ophelia Group", who own a controlling interest in the security company that administrates 70% of Armidale's CCTV cameras.

The Age of Reason are believed to be keeping the Seers of the Throne out of Armidale to date, whether this is by force or agreement is not known.

Members

Only a few members of the Age of Reason have shown themselves:

"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

Charles Montgomery, Chief Architect. A high ranking position/alias in the Age of Reason, only mentioned through company emails and the letter above. A thin white-haired man with an English accent, awakened. Had a meeting with the Concillium and tacitly confirmed the murder of Seeker7, though not directly (plausible deniability).

The Machine (alias) Icy mechanics resonance. Only seen in dreams as a massive frozen clockwork machine that manipulates fate.

There are also a number of mundane employees with no idea about the supernatural goings on.

Others

Carter's Familliar, AKA Sam, AKA That weird cat bastard thing

Has changed appearences between a monsterous cat-human hybrid and a near-starving young man in his 20s. He is obviously related to the mage Carter, though the actual link has not been determined.

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.

"IRE" A strange computer entity trading information via text messages.

The Previous Concillium

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.
