Presage

Who is the leader of the self proclaimed awaiters—and since when—, I don't know. But the boss says that they didn't have such thing at first, and the more information Gael finds about this person, the less we understand.   Presage shares some qualities with a few known members of the group, but not enough with any of them, and if the meeting points we have heard of aren't in code, no employee who fits the profile could have been there in every case.   It was driving me mad, before. Now I have a plan. Curious how running out of time might give you the opportunity of being faster, don't you think? Oh, don't mind me. I'm just thinking aloud.  
They go to him for advice as they would with a mentor.   Is he a priest of sorts?   They take instructions from him but don't show any deference. Maybe not a cult leader. But some form of authority.
— extract from Gael's notes
Where was I? Oh, yes. In all conversations we have caught, this person wasn't there. They all took orders from this "Presage", but never got them directly. I don't think that's a good way to lead, but I guess they are careful in case we are still tracking their movements.   It took a while to profile the leader based only in what the opinnion of different followers.

History

The first time we heard about this person, the boss thought it was a nickname for a friend of the people talking. They were wondering if "Presage" would agree with one of the theories they were discussing. We pay no mind then.   I hear the name a few more times after before noticing that there was a pattern there: all group members expected permission from this individual, or their approval.   After they stopped meeting at the Underground Library they would talk about more things, thinking they weren't being heard, and the mentions of this figure was more usual, and it soon became clear that they answer to the person, and work with of for whoevver he orders. There don't seem to be any other forms of authority in their group other than this "Presage".

Good question. We have considered that there have been a few successions in the last five years.... but we have nothing clear yet.

    Intriguing article. I always like how you have an in-world person telling us what they think about these things that even they don't fully understand lol. This definitely seems mysterious. I also like the layout.   Thank you so much for entering this article category! Quite an interesting read. If you would like me to feature it on one of my reading streams, please feel free to drop by my Twitch channel anytime I'm live and let me know you're watching. (check the schedule here). God bless and much success with your future plans! <3

    Hi, Wordi! I'm glad to read you found it interesting. Keeping things hidden but still mention the general situation when it comes to this "shady people" and other little mysteries is part of the reason why I let a character "tell the story" ;)
