Mission
[Recovered excerpt from a speech by the First Director]
"Some have questioned our means. Our resources. Today, i am going to explain why our uses do not go against our Cause.
But what IS the Cause, you ask? Our purpose, my purpose, is simple.
We desire a mortal realm free from the chaotic meddling of the Hours. Unbound from their petty wars and incomprehensible pursuits that claim thousands of lives a day. A mundane world, in which we are no longer terrorized by escaped summons or merciless cultists.
We will achieve this goal by any means necessary, be it diving into the Invisible Arts ourselves, or even working with the Hours themselves if necessary. For such a massive task, we must understand that nothing, nothing at all is off the table. We will strike fear into the cultists, and destroy all the occult material that we do not take for ourselves. We will obliterate all those who stand in our way, be it mortals, Long or even Names.
There will be sacrifices. There will be costs. There will be times where we will wonder if we are, truly, a force of good. But in those dark times, we will look upon the world blighted by divine corruption, where many are sacrificed and many are transformed and many unready minds are lost, and we will understand that what we are doing is right.
We will protect the world we know, one step at a time. Our work will never be complete, but it will, always, be necessary."
History
Living Directors
There are many Directors, but there is also one Director. Once a Director assumes, they surrender their identity to the Bureau and become one of its faceless lords. They see through each other's eyes and read each other's thoughts, and walk and speak in perfect sync when in groups. It is said they even share the same emotions. There is one per History, though they have been known to meet in person during dire times.
