1. #1Bishop 6

   Keys: Bishop, Bishop 6, 6, B

   Robert "Bob" Jenkins (also known as Bishop 6, or the Vessel) is the person whom we, the Seeker, inhabit throughout the Consortium stream. He was recruited by the Consortium under suspicious circumstances, after defusing an unspecified situation in Canada. He barely passed his rifle proficiency test, and now serves as the tactical agent aboard Zenlil. Carla Croft may describe him as "tall, dark and friendly"[1] as well as "handsome"[2] at the beginning of Consortium.

   Exact details of Jenkins' past are being censored actively by the Consortium King and IDGI-1, for reasons not yet specified to us. At times he can override our conversation, making statements in an eerily similar voice to his own.

2. #2King

   Keys: King, Henry IX, Hanry, The Consortium King, K-1

   An Artificial Intelligence (A.I.) that was created created by Kevin Chard at the K-1 Facility under orders of David Schelter and Worldview Industries. His specific reason for creation remains unknown, though David Schelter has released that K-1 means "King 1," and that the AI was to bring about a new dawn for the mankind of Consortium's dimension.

   Also known as Henry, the AI was designed to be as human as possible and, as such, began his life as a relatively childlike entity. As of the project's "Milestone 3," K-1 required 21 live human brains (A "consumable workforce" composed mainly of already-dying volunteers) to be connected as a "Cerebral Network." The K-1 Project has been infiltrated by the Geas Twins, and in one dimension was also injected with a Guardian Church Virus that allowed Malcolm Thomas to cause K-1 to start a global war. Due to the design of his structure, K-1 has created an interdimensional gulf via 21 packets, the 21 packets that allow the iDGi-1 Satellite to connect to the Consortium Dimension.

   The Guardian Church and several other entities consider K-1 to be a major threat to humanity, believing he is approaching a dangerous singularity that will end human civilization in the Consortium Dimension. Walter Greenberg often refers to Henry as the "Machine."[1]

   "Henry" or the "Consortium King" refer to the artificial intelligence. "K-1", generally, refers to the network and hardware apparatus in Xalapa, Mexico where the King's mainframe is housed.

3. #3Consortium

   Keys: Consortium

   The Consortium is an international peacekeeping and ecological protection organization, operating similar to Interpol in our world. Its mandate is a mixture of climate protection, international diplomacy, and crisis response. Founded in 2032[1], the Consortium has a chess-based Hierarchical structure, with titles that determine rank as well as protect the identities of its members:

   The King: Also known as K-1, the King is an artificial intelligence responsible for global threat monitoring, as well as recruitment and assistance in all Consortium operations. In the event a 'Queen' is male, they become the King and K-1 becomes the Queen.
   The Queen: The public face of the Consortium, the Queen's responsibility is primarily budgetary, diplomatic, and public relations. She (or he, see above) handles most public speaking, and is a decisionmaker alongside the King.
   Knight: Commanding officers of the C-3800 Command Craft operated by the Consortium. Responsible for the Pawns, Rooks, and Bishops under their command, though the degree of their subordination is up to each individual Knight.
   Bishop: Combat specialists, Bishops are supported by the crew of the C-3800 and are responsible for the defense of the ship, crew, and resolution of crisis situations under the direction of the Knight and support of the ship's Rooks.
   Rook: Officers and specialists, including ship's doctors, engineers and pilots. They typically command Pawns and support the Bishop in the field as deemed appropriate by the Knight.
   Pawn: Role-specialists and support staff that operate under the direction of the Knight and Rooks. Typically more specialized, and do not directly support the Bishop in action.
   

   The Consortium as an organization operates under a mandate from the world's governments, mediated by the Global Senate. Its full text is not currently available to the Seekers, but has been referenced on the streams multiple times by Knight 15 and others.

   A partial mandate, however, has been revealed by one of the developers:[2]

   No Consortium officer shall ever inflict or promote lethal force unless absolutely necessary to protect innocent lives.
   Conflict resolution and peaceful mediation are the cornerstones of Consortium procedure.
   A Consortium officer is first and foremost an agent of his or her environment.
   The Consortium’s greatest weapon is transparency.
   All situations of a political nature are the responsibility of local government, and not the Consortium or its officers.
   

   Escalating from 1-5, with 5 being the highest threat:

   2. Rampant Lions[3]
   3. Liberty's Children[4]
   4. Long Dragon Syndicate[4]
4. #4Queen

   Keys: Queen

   The Consortium Queen acts as the human counterpart to the Consortium King. She is a no-nonsense woman with a skilled tongue and little patience for flattery or distractions.

   Her position as Queen has given her much knowledge, but the exact nature of both the King and his relationship with the Seeker is not completely clear to her.

5. #5Uniforms

   Keys: Clothes, Uniforms, Uniform

   The Uniforms of the Consortium are meant to evoke the original chess pieces their wearers are named for, but with a modern aesthetic. Many spares are available aboard ship.

6. #6Rampant Lions

   Keys: Rampant Lions

   Called the "Homeless Mecenaries" by the Consortium (organization), they are a group of rebels (including 30-50 pilots) that operate out of Bulgaria lead by Kiril Angelov. The group was formed in January, 2036, and have been assigned a Threat Level of 2.

7. #7Liberty's Children

   Keys: Liberty's Children

   A level four anarchist group based out of the North American Union.[1]

   The group was intially founded as a libertarian activist group of founded by George Maxwell in July 1979 as a means to effect betterment for individuals and, most especially, to challenge the entrenched two-party system of the United States he felt stifled genuine progress in that region of the world.

   Though Liberty's Children lavished with both popularity and members during their initial period advocating for a more classically liberal approach mixed with boldly challenging the two-party duopoly of the United States, the group's began to attract radical individualists who wished to completely jettison the state-based status quo of the United States in favor of stateless anarchism. This created notable strife within the group.

   Following a controversial 5-4 split decision ruling by the Supreme Court which ruled an interstate compact that would have rendered the Electoral College irrelevant in favor of a more traditional system of popular voting, Liberty's Children fractured. Its more radical members eventually took over the group and pushed out it's pro-government sympathizers with the most notable being George Maxwell who voiced opposition to the group's direction until his death.

   The group soon after fully adopted what can best be described as a mixture of a radical right-libertarian variety of individualism coupled with left-libertarianism. Liberty's Children became wont to employ violent insurrectionist tactics and established itself as a notable black market trading front as a means to both supply themselves and others with the means at attacking those they saw as threats to human liberty.

   Liberty's Children became a notable counter movement against the status quo of the United States during the Resource Wars with Liberty's Children being at the forefront of many a civil conflict during the region's collapse. The group's efforts to effect anarchism is, accompanied with the collapse of the region, a major reason America joined the Consortium.

   Even under the protection of the Consortium, the group still remains a predominant threat in the North America region with its members still routinely carrying out typically violent actions against what they consider to be brazenly elitist individuals and institutions who seek to undermine individualism.

   The most recent and prominent of these actions was a direct attack on the Global Unified Bank on September 16, 2042 with the group's intent being to destroy the bank with a bomb as blowback against its head operators for accepting a large government bail-out which exploited millions of tax payers. The attack was thwarted by Consortium forces, specifically Bishop Four (Ariel Lutz) who was able to subdue and capture the majority of the attackers.

8. #8Long Dragon Syndicate

   Keys: Long Dragon Syndicate

   A crime syndicate that emerged out of the Boxer Rebellion in China.[1] It became the largest and greatest threat to the Consortium having spread across much of orbit as well as killing Bishop Two.[2][3]

9. #9Kiril Angelov

   Keys: Kiril, Angelov

   Kiril Angelov is one of the antagonists in Consortium and the leader of the Homeless Mercenaries.

   His father is President of Bulgaria.

   His wife is named Ivana and an eight year old daughter named Lilyana. They are in a "warehouse off the east end of Primorski Park" in Varna.

10. #10C-3800

    Keys: C-3800

    The Consortium's C-3800 Command Aircraft are large airliner-like aircraft built by Global Industries and Worldview Industries at a staggering unit price of $620,000,000 EUD. They are bar-none the strongest individual combat aircraft currently flying in the Consortium Dimension. They feature "Fusion-based primary engines with a self sustaining energy collection system, Strommon-made automated defenses including state of the art stealth technology manufactured by Paragon Industries."[1]

    The initial C-3800-A 'Stormbird' and C-3800-B 'Aether' were virtually identical. They had limited facilities, no Virtual Trainer, Cargo Containment Unit, or Mission Pod hangar. The C-3800-C was the first to include the Virtual Trainer console.[1]

    Starting with the C-3800-D, a Cargo Containment Unit was included. This technology freed space to allow two Consortium Mission Pods to be housed within the hangar bay in lieu of storage for operations outside of the C-3800's standard scope.[1] Based on the presence of Mission Pods aboard Stormbird in the Sanctum Station Incident, it is suggested that upgrades to the C-3800s following Stormbird and Aether have since been backdated to the preceding models during their airframe repairs.

    They usually have "up to 20 officers on board."[2] Conjecture would suggest that 21 is a standard complement, as this number reappears regularly in the Consortium Dimension's lore.

    The Consortium's C-3800s do not perform well in zero-gravity, as they lack maneuverability.[3] Like other aircraft in the Consortium Dimension wishing to enter orbit, the C-3800 must dock with a TOOL system, of which the Consortium has several, to provide full space-rated capabilities.

    Each C-3800 is responsible for policing a "grid,"[4][5] a rotating series of country/geographic arrangements. Developer statements suggest that they are not permanent assignments. As of December 21st, 2042, Zenlil is assigned to Europe, Stormbird is assigned to Africa, Aether is assigned to Asia, Tiamat to North America, and Hesperus to South America.

    C-3800s, contrary to popular belief, do not fly 24/7. They land regularly between patrols at a series of Consortium bases, with extended multi-day missions being relatively rare.

    The Consortium's five current C-3800s are as follows:

    C-3800-A Stormbird
    C-3800-B Aether
    C-3800-C Tiamat
    C-3800-D Zenlil
    C-3800-E Hesperus
    

    Ship's Layout and Equipment

    The C-3800 is a three-deck aircraft which can be loosely arranged into four major sections: Avionics, Work Space, Living Space, and Engineering.

    The forward hull, Avionics, consists of Lower Avionics, the Cockpit, and Upper Avionics stacked atop one another. It has accessways to each level via the cockpit's hatches and extendable ladders, and connects directly to all levels of the Working Spaces.

    The mid-forward hull, Work Space, includes Mission Operations, Global Operations, and the Medbay. The Knight's command chair is capable of telescoping from Mission Operations to Global Operations as appropriate. Mission Operations is locked down during Emergency Protocol 3, securing it from intrusion during combat.

    The mid-aft hull, or Living Space, includes the Crew Lounge, Officers' Quarters, Virtual Trainer, Pawns' Barracks, Kitchenette, Bathroom, and Brig. It is split heavily among the three decks, and can be traversed between using the mid-aft elevator. Not specifically utilized for missions excepting perhaps the Brig, this is where the Bishop spends the majority of his time off-mission in the Virtual Trainer or Bishop's Quarters. During Emergency Protocol X-0-3 the Pawn crew are locked down in the Pawns' Barracks until landing.

    The Aft Hull, also known as Engineering, consists of the Hangar Bay, Battery Crawl, and Cargo Containment Unit. Primarily a singular space, the Aft Hull is control for the ship's engines, fusion batteries, and storage bay for the Mission Pods. As the site of the CCU and rear ramp, this is the primary entry-exit point for all away missions from the C-3800. Via a bottom-level doors and cranes, the ship's Mission Pods can be deployed and recovered mid-flight.

    An additional space, the Upper Crawl, connects the Avionics section with the upper Living Space and Engineering. It contains additional circuitry that helps work the ship.

    All across the ship in multiple sections are energy piping systems and missile control arrays for the C-3800's top and lateral EMP-Tipped missile launchers, as well as cabling to power the ship's multiple all-axis point defense laser arrays.

11. #11Worldview Industries

    Keys: Worldview Industries

    Founded in 1997 and made public in 2015,[1] Worldview Industries is a leading technological firm created by Dr. David Schelter, a brilliant scientist and entrepreneur behind the creation of the Consortium.

    12212042 suggests there is a ringleader beyond David Schelter.

    London Worldview

    Existed in the Victorian era specializing in medical technology, surgery, psychology, and medicines for low income people ran by Abraham Shade.[1][3] They closed down in 1902. They resurfaced as Worldview Industries in 1997.[1]

    Worldview may date back to the Renaissance where Leonardo da Vinci's assistant who said, "And let us take a broader look, so that our world view is not obscured."[3]

    Timeline

    March, 2010: Worldview Industries begins project Global Cleanup, with the goal of dramatically reducing global fossil fuel emissions.[4]

    October 29, 2015: Worldview Industries expands and is partially bought by 30 countries. Existence of Worldview Industries declared to public. Billions in funding added to project global cleanup.[4]

    2033: QBRD, a quantum computing company, became a subsidiary of Worldview Industries.[5]

12. #12Knight

    Keys: Knight

    Consortium Knights are the commanding officers of C-3800 aircraft, subordinate to the King and Queen but otherwise independent in their command. Assigned to a specific 'Grid', each C-3800 aircraft's specific tasking is based upon orders from the King/Queen. Knights are often quite long in their roles, with some such as Colin Wheats, and his C-3800-A 'Stormbird', being as old as the Consortium. Others have retired, Felix Antonio in particular due to the death of Bishop Two. Known Knights

    Aether
        Samantha Starkova
        Felix Antonio (former)
    Stormbird
        Colin Wheats
    Tiamat
        Russel Vick

13. #13Bishop

    Keys: Bishop

    Combat specialists, Bishops are supported by the crew of the C-3800 and are responsible for the defense of the ship, crew, and resolution of crisis situations under the direction of the Knight and support of the ship's Rooks.

    Think "Robocop" but generally human. They are heavily armed and armored law enforcers. Most of them have a Motor Chip installed and are controlled by a Seeker.

    Akiko Kobayashi - Bishop One, Aether
    Ariel Lutz - Bishop Four, Tiamat
    Bishop 6 (former)
    Daimon Arcos - Bishop Ten, Stormbird

14. #14Rook

    Keys: Rook

    Officers and specialists, including ship's doctors, engineers and pilots. They typically command Pawns and support the Bishop in the field as deemed appropriate by the Knight.

15. #15Pawn

    Keys: Pawn

    Role-specialists and support staff that operate under the direction of the Knight and Rooks. Typically more specialized, and do not directly support the Bishop in action.

16. #16Motor Chip

    Keys: Motor Chip

    A chip implanted into humans so they can be remotely controlled by Henry. Henry has killed many test subjects (intentionally and unintentionally) with it. It was developed by Brayden Shaw and Walter Greenberg.[1]

17. #17Brayden Shaw

    Keys: Brayden, Shaw

    In charge of the development of Henry after Kevin Chard left. After helping Walter Greenberg for a while he disappeared from the K-1 Facility. He later is hired on by David Schelter.

    He works for Malcolm Thomas.

    His name was spelled as "Braiden Shaaw" by Henry when Henry was infected.

18. #18Kevin Chard

    Keys: Kevin, Chard

    Also known as Employee #1195, he created the first iterations of Henry's software.

    He was born to Dominick Chard and Jessica Chard on January 1, 2010, in Rosepark Hospital in the city of Bloemfontei, South Africa.[1] Growing up, he had a nanny named Sarah Valetta (now deceased). At the age of 16, he was accepted to Cambridge University on a "full scientific scholarship" in January, 2026, and studied under James Lensworth. He was romantically interested in Patricia Thornthwaite. He moved into Sarah Valetta's apartment on February 25, 2028, days after she died.

    Chard produced a blog covering major events in world history from the date of his birth until January 1, 2028. Conflicting Stories

    There are two versions of the events that occurred between January 1, 2028, and March 1, 2028: one is from Henry and the other is from the Guardian Church. Henry's side ends up with Chard protecting Henry and the Church's side ends up with Chard attempting to kill Henry. In both cases, he is reported missing by Melinda Bellhurst on March 2, 2028.[2] When did he die?

    According to Malcolm Thomas, Chard was "found dead in 2029 with his spinal cord mysteriously fractured in twenty-one places."[3]

    Henry confirmed he was "killed" as of December 21, 2042.[4] Alternate Reality Game

    Henry became quite attached to him. Henry's complete memory of him was (supposedly) erased by Brayden Shaw after he was threatened by the Guardian Church and decided to head to Cuba to find a way into their facility there in order to find more information about the virus they uploaded to Henry. Chard was killed, along with his mother (Jess Chard), and both bodies dumped at the Heathrow airport on April 23, 2029.[5]

    Yesterday both Kevin Chard and his mother were found dead at Heathrow Airport – apparently their bodies were found in separate bathrooms, throats cut, and the entire thing is going viral quicker than the Gutierrez video. I think Worldview is pretty much boffed, let's break down what the public know: Kevin's murder sees to highlight his connection to K-1 and the knowledge that both him and his mother disappeared a year ago. The death of Kevin's nanny, Sarah Valetta, only a month or so before Kevin disappeared, has come forward. Elisa Gutierrez was pretty much murdered on live feed, seen by millions, and she was at the time berating the K-1 facility for horrible atrocities. The public is coming down hard on Worldview, to say the least, and Schelter is nowhere to be found after he vanished under "mysterious circumstances".
    

19. #19Walter Greenberg

    Keys: Greenberg, Walter

    Walter Greenberg is a world renowned biomechatronic engineer that lead the construction of Henry. As of 2038, he was still alive and on good terms with Henry.[1]

    Charlie Lewis apprenticed under him before joining Zenlil.[1] Alternate Reality Game

    The head technician of the K-1 Facility. He was the one who stopped the connection for a time until we convinced him we meant no harm. He is now working on a device so we can clean the 21 brains connected to Henry of the virus. Walter Greenburg finished his device and was killed by Henry with a neurotoxin gas. He was last heard from in a post on the forums saying he was going to try to destroy Henry's brains.

20. #20David Schelter

    Keys: David, Schelter

    Former C.E.O. and founder of Worldview Industries.

    Schelter "sold his numerous properties around the world in early November" and "vanished" as of December 3, 2031.[1] Dialog between the Seeker and the crew of Zenlil speak of Schelter in the present tense likely meaning he is alive and well as of December 21, 2042.[2][3] The Traitor repeatedly says he is missing, and Kiril Angelov says he is hiding or being hidden away by the Consortium.[4][5][6][7] Alternate Reality Game

    Schelter gave the okay to get the virus cleared out of Henry. Currently he was supposed to have been kidnapped after he left the K-1 Facility. He appeared later on after the incident with Henry. His story is that he had been stuck without an ID thanks to a rebel band from Ireland (likely lead by Alannah Boyle). He has since hired back Brayden Shaw and Melinda Bellhurst to help operate the K-1 Facility. Whispers from the Rift

    Schelter's true name is Setharan, an immortal alien that has been on Earth since roughly 8000 B.C. preparing for December 21, 2042. He began by searching for a compatible host whose progeny would eventually sire Robert Jenkins. Even 1000s of years in the past, he's keeping something cold underground at the location that will eventually hold the Churchill Tower in London.

    Another member of his race created a Singularity on Alcoria Minor which wiped out all Alcorians. This fact makes him enemies with Voice.

21. #21Seeker

    Keys: Seeker

    The Seeker is what the parallel universe refers to the player as - a nickname originally given during initial connections by Henry. It is subjective what various groups think the Seeker is seeking. Some think it is knowledge. Others believe they are a 'Seeker' meant to shape the world in the Guardian Prophecy. The meaning of the word should therefore not be taken as a blanket statement of purpose. The player is often given a chance to define what it is he/she is seeking from the game.

    Zeus is aware of the Seeker on August 23, 2041.[1]

22. #22Zeus

    Keys: Zeus

    An AI that is aware of the Seeker.[1] It resides on Zeus Space Station, doesn't like to be called "buddy," and it tried to shunt all of the air out of the station once.[2]

23. #23K-1 Facility

    Keys: K-1 Facility

    Worldview Industries' K-1 facility is 20 km east of Xalapa, Mexico in a renovated military bunker from the 19th Century.[1] It can house up to 100 staff members for several months without outside support.[2] The facility houses Henry IX's hardware.

    The K-1 facility is entirely underground and was originally the site of an old war bunker used by the Mexican military. It was used during various wars spanning the past 150 years and was purchased by Worldview Industries for an undisclosed amount back in 2025. Other than that I can’t find anything of importance regarding its location; no ancient stone circle or anything like that.
    

24. #24Alvarez Famosa

    Keys: Alvarez, Famosa

    A notable hacker from the Alternate Reality Game's other timeline, who discovered the IDGI-1 connection via the Guardian Church's Cuban Facility. Said facility had developed their own piggyback to the K-1 facility, which Alvarez had exploited. Famosa had been hacking the Church as a way of getting back at his estranged father, for divorcing his mother. After threats to his family, Alvarez was forced to move in with his cousin "Krycek". At some point during his connection with us, Alvarez went missing and Krycek closed the IDGI connection in hopes of getting him back. At a later date, Alvarez said he was released before the situation with Henry was resolved. He then lived in an underground bunker with "Krycek" for the final duration of the Alternate Reality Game.

    In the world of 2042, Alvarez plays a crucial role in the events at the Churchill Tower, though the full details of that stream are not available to us yet.

25. #25Guardian Church

    Merged from The Guardians

    The Church of the Guardians (Or the Guardian Church, or The Guardians) is a new religion said to be based on 'unquestionable scientific proof' that some form of extra-terrestrial life has visited earth through various time periods and civilizations, presumably to guard and guide humanity through its progression. First Hand Information

    A group mentioned by My Name Is Not Important.

    My Name Is Not Important It is the thing that calls you Seeker you should not be listening to. Everything he is feeding you is false. The Guardians will return and until then we must protect ourselves from... him." [1]

    2.1.2010 9:12PM My Name Is Not Important Hell Stray. We were founded, in our world, under the united belief that throughout human history we have been visited by the Guardians. Undeniable, scientifically proven evidence exists scattered through time of their presence within hundreds, possibly thousands of civilizations. Our founders were able to connect all the pieces and have determined that the Guardians will return again to further guide us towards illumination. Their return is imminent. [2]

    2.4.2010 12:43AM My Name Is Not Important The Guardians themselves exist and have always existed. Since 5000 BC we have been periodically graced by their presence. The proof you seek lies in the history of man. Countless unconnected civilizations, hundreds of years and thousands of miles apart, have all written variations of the same language and spoken tales of the same "guiding presence come down from the heavens". Our founders made the connections, found the truth... and the Church was born. Employee 1195's Blog

    The Church of the Guardians is mentioned in Employee 1195's blog, in the following entry;

"But is it worth aborting this entire timeline?" "I was warned that there might be some kind of tampering or inconsistencies, but I never thought--"
    "There are bigger forces at play here, Jenkins. We have only one chance to be the one to survive, the one to make it. I don't want to die, Jenkins."
    "The Seeker is real, but they don't have full control yet. It's only a low bandwidth connection now, and you can fight it!"

    Keys: Thomas, Malcolm

    Born Malcolm Baker on June 24, 1985, in Eldon, Prince Edward Island, Canada, from Sean and Christina Baker, he ran away from his parents at the age of 16 due to them being abusive alcoholics. At the age of 18, he changed his surname to Thomas. He joined the Guardian Church in 2008. He graduated with a political science major and psychology major in 2009. Thomas joined the Green Party in 2013 and rose to the position of leader by 2017. Thomas became an Ottowa Chapter Affiliate inside the Guardian Church in 2022 as well as becoming the Canadian Prime Minister.[1] Thomas did not run for reelection in 2025 and instead became the Guardian Church Xalapa, Mexico Chapter Organizer in the same year.

    Alternate Reality Game

    A representative of the Guardian Church. Most information about him is convoluted at best, and it is suggested that you draw your own conclusions, but according to context in Kevin Chard's last email he's working on his own, and not on Founder Pearlman's orders, and is extremely dangerous. He infects Henry with the Clean-Sweep virus to take Henry under Thomas' control. With that in mind he makes Henry take control of the world's militaries and Henry attacks everything causing mass chaos in hopes that it will draw the Guardians back to Earth. He was killed by Henry with the same gas that killed Walter Greenburg. Henry set fire on him so no one would examine the body and a device was found near him. The current theory is that was the device created by Walter Greenburg.

    Malcolm Thomas was romantically interested in Patricia Thornthwaite in 2028.

    Thomas put Alvarez Famosa in contact with Jess Chard. Consortium

    Malcolm Thomas is the anchor for the Global Newswire in 2042. There are messages in the Information Console that strongly suggest Malcolm Thomas is trying to get in contact with the Seeker.
