-Entity stored within inaccessible portions of Magos Eizen's mind. Division between the two was maintained without contact for several years, due to action taken by Eizen, Kelle, and hired Techsorcists to codify a containing barrier.

-The barrier's integrity was damaged by Archmagos Sojourner Wakes in his attempt to extract data from Logis Eizen. Since this occurrence, VIIR has been able to achieve a modest degree of communication, and interface with certain technologies. Thus far, his interventions have been beneficial to the Keojrah-Glynt Company, including the subtle requisition of Praetor Light Power Armor (and upgrades to its functionality) as well as improved targeting through DNI weaponry.

-Magos Voss determined that VIIR is a Personality Knowledge Competence Engram, which has been influencing Eizen since the barrier was damaged, and slowly overwriting his own personality. This affirms the observations of Lazarus's recent psychic probe, which showed there was a great deal of overlap in memory and knowledge between the two. This type of entity is linked with a mechanicus theory of immortality that involves creating copies of oneself to persist past the body's expiration.

-Voss has managed to strengthen the barrier preventing VIIR from entirely assuming control of the mind and body, but it will eventually deteriorate.

-VIIR and Eizen seem to have both been influencing the outward decisions and behavior of the techpriest as observed by others; VIIR's claim that he is an evolution of the original Eizen, retaining the knowledge and memories of the first with a different personality. I, Eizen Wakes, am beginning to conclude that while this assessment is not entirely wrong, I too have been able to make use of VIIR's superior capabilities, meaning that evolution does not, perhaps, require his personality to assert itself as dominant.

-We have learned that the cognomen VIIR is shared by the Enginseer Prime of the Gilded Comet, Archmagos Explorator Phaeton VIIR. I am now certain, as some recollection returns, that he is the source of the Engram.

-VIIR's existence is associated with a highly complex code; partial infection with this code in Mechanicus subjects usually causes instability, mental deterioration, and eventual death. Fortunately, these virus forms of VIIR do not seem capable of infecting machines or their spirits, only Techpriests that interface directly.

-Due to the vindictive actions of Eizen Wakes, bonded with Condemnor. VIIR is furious about this, to the point that he has managed to force a breach in the wall that allows for communication between the two aspects.

Major Verity St. Ardentia

-Guardsman, sharpshooter and firearm specialist

-Bonded with an Augmentor (right palm), and equipped with a Vigil Device linked to Ambassador Lethe.

Specialist Lazarus Quint

-Sanctioned Psyker (Specialist in Telepathy)

-Previously called Quinten Cutter; legally died during the Xenotechnological Incident.

-Fused with the Nemesis Device, as well as a Vigil Device linked to Ambassador Lethe.

-Has a Twin Headed Eagle familiar called Aequinn; notably, one head of this creature controls the body's movement and ability to fly, which the other has psychic abilities.

-Resurrected by the Golden; now appears somewhat greyer and longer limbed.

Ford

-Infiltration and espionage specialist; acquainted through ganger activities in the underhive

-Bonded with a Voiddelver (Left Hand) and a Vigil Device

-Inexplicably liked by Lazarus's familiar, Aequinn the two-headed eagle.

[Heavy Encryption]

-Inquisition Agent, part of Interrogator Saends's retinue; gathered an alarming amount of intel on our operations, but rather than report our activities to the Inquisition, secretly approached us and allied himself with our operation. Continues to report to Saends, supposedly in a manner favorable to our ongoing survival.

-It remains uncertain to what degree Ford can be trusted; certainly, his actions have put us in a deadlock of mutually assured destruction, especially once he has been equipped with an Asterii Device (which I recommend at this time), which will ensure that Inquisition discovery of the Xenotechnology would affect him in the same detrimental manner as it would the rest of our group.

-Given the proficiency he has demonstrated in espionage so far, I believe it is not unlikely that Ford has crafted some form of insurance in the event of his death; my best estimates at this time involve data transfers that will initiate if some form of timer is not intermittently reset. I shall attempt to gather more data on this hypothesis, but until the threat can be adequately assessed, I recommend Ford be treated with great caution.
