The Black Codex operates in the margins of the known datasphere—silent agents who extract, distort, or conceal information to shift outcomes without open conflict. They don’t storm bunkers or ignite wars. Instead, they alter the records, blur the truth, and erase traces before anyone knows something changed. Whether infiltrating financial systems, falsifying legal documents, or planting doubt with a well-timed leak, their work is almost always invisible by design.
Members of the Codex are not traditional hackers, but data tacticians and psychological operators. They understand that control of information is often more powerful than control of territory. Their tools include false histories, identity corruption, planted evidence, and misdirection. Within the Eclipse Cartel, they are both feared and relied upon -keepers of secrets and silent enforcers of the Cartel’s influence through knowledge, not violence.
All
Untraceable Style: Your dress, posture, and movement resist easy description. Even witnesses struggle to recall specific features.
Selective Recall: You retain crucial details while convincingly forgetting information irrelevant to The Black Codex. You might not remember what you had for dinner 1 hour ago, but you remember the name of a pet of an important person.
Value of a Secret: You’re reluctant to share even vital information unless you receive something in return—whether tangible or social leverage.
You Must Not Assume You’re Alone: You are trained to act as if you're always being watched, even by your own network. Paranoia is protocol.
Must spend at least half of available development points in Tech Categories when creating the character on Augmented Reality category.
