Helen Distortion- replaced michael distortion thinks herself jon’s friend pops up randomly to cause chaos and have fun all around a good time
Elias Bouchard- avatar of the beholding head of the institute killed gertrude and brutally pipe murdered jurgen leitner manipulated jon into his perfect archivist to start the eyepocalypse
I wonder if Elias uses his Beholding powers to deal with mundanities. we know he watches his archivists and archival assistants, but that’s hardly trivial; he’s got centuries of plans hinging on his Archives, so it stands to reason that he would keep an eye on them, as it were.
when he misplaces something, does he look for it with his many extraneous eyes? likewise, does he check the traffic through the eyes of others before making his commute? I need to know every last detail of his boring little academic businessman life.
The whole podcast is about Jonah and Jon spinning into each other’s orbits until they form a binary unit together. There would be no king of a ruined world without the archive and vice versa. They are irrevocably bound together. The one thing the finale got right is that they die minutes apart from each other and by the same blade.
