Magos Eizen VIIR

[Heavy Encryption, access granted only to Ambassador Lethe and myself]

-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.
