-The report located by Denn was sought not only by our team and agents of the Order (allied with or synonymous with the Ordo Historica Veritas), but Inquisitorial Acolytes of Interrogator Montalban, and Ordinate Iulianus Tacitus, an agent of the Logos Historica Verita.

-Was killed prior to our team's arrival, likely by Ordinate Kef Moevell.

-Former office-mate of "Skench," who—despite proving useful in our attempts to locate Denn (doubly so for having hindered the investigation of Kef)—I cannot classify as a full asset, given that his work is already filling his mental capacity to the point of requiring additional stimulants.
