Description

History

The-Keeper emerged in the First History, several years post-breach. They were once a mortal in the higher class of society, but they yearned for higher heights. The Breach offered a unique business opportunity, and they took it. They compelled their followers to die in their name, and this sudden action propelled them into the lofty heights of the Mansus. Unfortunately ( or fortunately, depending on your perspective), the power which by they ascended, also saw fit to give those who had died a place in the Mansus, and so arrived Company. There was a brief argument, but a contract was negotiated, and a conclusion was reached. Together, they are the Keeper-and-Company, and they believe themselves to be very good business partners, indeed. They primarily dwell in the city, and give favor to any particularly intrepid (or foolish) explorers.

Appearance

The-Keeper-and-Company shifts appearances rapidly. However, multiple aspects of their appearance will remain constant. They will always be dressed in a form of formal wear, be that a suit, dress, or otherwise appropriate clothes. They will always be accompanied by a large number of moths, and for the more 'extravagant' formal wear, they will take part.

Principles

The-Keeper-and-Company is the enactor of desires. These desires may be unconventional, or perhaps even harmful to all parties involved, but they are enacted in any case. They work to introduce new desires in those that follow in their footsteps, and it is more than willing to fulfill these desires. For the right price, of course. They take part in the exploration and exploitation of the Frontier, and give protection (more or less) to any explorers who pledge themselves to The Company.

Worship

Cult

The-Keeper-and-Company ascended in the first history, where their followers consisted of the surviving members of their corporation. They have branded themselves "The Company", as they do not consider any other corporation necessary, and if anything, redundant. The Company has made their way to other histories by way of selling their wares in the City, however these products of power occasionally make their way to other histories. A group designating itself as 'The Company' also occasionally appears in other histories, not as another arm of The Company, but as a group worshiping The Keeper-&-Company. These groups are quickly discovered, and integrated into The Company proper as soon as possible.

Mark

  1. Temptation: Desire: I've had a longing for strange savourings.
  2. Dedication: Desire: I know there is something I want. I will do what is necessary to get it.
  1. Ascension: Desire: I cannot bear it anymore. I must have it. This strange hunger is known to me as the Third Mark.
  2. Ascension: Desire: I have attempted to satisfy my hunger with the product produced by 'The Company', but it does not sate me. I know this to be the Fourth Mark. More.
  3. Ascension: Desire: My spending habits have gone out of control. It must be done. I have neglected my other duties, but they do not matter. What matters is the Fifth Mark. More.
  4. Ascension: Desire: I have achieved the Sixth Mark. There is nothing but the 'Company'. I realize what I now yearn for. To serve The-Company, and to serve their Hour, The-Keeper.
  5. Ending: This world cannot entertain me anymore. So, I leave it, for the cobalt embrace of the Mansus. There, I will do what is asked of me, and together, we will dominate this new world.
  1. Ascension: Desire: I have lost something. I do not know what it is, but I know it is not the Third Mark.
  2. Ascension: Desire: I do not recognize many people anymore. It is no loss, because they know nothing of the Fourth Mark. I do.
  3. Ascension: Desire: I do not know where I am. I know what lies beyond. I know the Fifth Mark.
  4. Ascension: Desire: I have achieved the Sixth Mark.
  5. Ending: There is nothing for me here, now. Perhaps there once was, but I care little. Now, I go into the City, and I shift along the hidden paths, and there I am home.
