Cipher's Links
Naira is only one of his many vessels. He sought her out when one of his main vessels, a scientist, needed more test subjects. He was having a hard time sourcing them due to his secrecy and lack of contact with society. So when Cipher noticed Naira, he appeared in her dreams. Initially she was absolutely terrified of him until he offered to make a deal with her. He would punish everyone who ignored here warnings about revenants and prove her right if she allowed him to posses her body whenever he liked. Naira accepted the deal. He used her to kidnap Meraki along with a few others.
He first appeared in her dreams. While she was initially terrified as he was a revenant, she did still show mild intrigue to know more. When he offered her the deal, she initially hesitated as this was against everything she thought, but she knew she’d do anything to punish Elise and everyone who disregarded her. Initially, she did feel some guilt for what Cipher did while possessing her, as well as how others seemed to start distancing themselves from her, but she ended up accepting it.
Raven is the daughter of one of his more used vessels, as well as one of the main motives for why that vessel accepted the deal. He is trying to turn them both against eachother so that her father focuses more on what he wants to do, but he doesn’t plan on removing her from the picture entirely. He sees something that might be of interest in her, but he isn’t quite sure what yet.
He saw Azurel’s reach and his financial challenges so he approached the librarian in his dreams offering him all the wealth he could imagine so he could live comfortably. To Cipher’s disappointment, he declined.
Azurel was approached once by Cipher in his dreams, he was quick to sense the malice in the Revenant when he explained his offer. Although the idea of him being able to quit his other job was extremely tempting, he declined, not wanting to be possessed.
Cipher despises Adhara. Ever since she was a kit, they had always been ruining his plans. Their first exorcism was of one of his earlier vessels. Then later on, she became famous for potions that would protect other Lumythew against him. He has lost many vessels or failed to possess many vessels because of Adhara. He wants to get revenge. However at the same time, he is aware of her strong mind altering capabilities due to their void hypnotic eyes, which could massively benefit him and his main vessel, so he always keeps an eye on her whenever he can.
He only knows her due to a condition he agreed to when making his deal with Naira. He considers her one of the easiest lumians to haunt, due to them having a lot of unaddressed issues and problems to prey upon. Sometimes he gives them nightmares of the fire and ice incident, although Cipher finds the most joy in giving her nightmares about Lura.
He did once approach Widow about punishing the fallen who killed them in return for access to secret knowledge about her hive. If this had been normal circumstances, he would have also asked to posses it, however Cipher wasn’t sure about whether it was safe to try to possess an undead. Either way, she refused, so he just moved on.
He first heard about her from Dread, who told him about an encounter he had with her. Cipher's view of Azurine wasn’t accurate, however. All that Dread had to share with him were mostly accounts of her storytelling, which meant that he saw the young Lavathew as a cocky, prideful individual who could be easily persuaded to agree to a deal with him. So when he decided to look further into her, he managed to find a weak point, her love for a mythical tunneler. He approached her with an offer, in return for weaving him and his group into her stories to keep them from fading, he would keep an eye on those who she wanted to hide her relationship from and make sure they never find out. Unfortunately for him, she declined.
Doesn’t really hold any malice towards her, just sees her as someone who stepped out of line who he had to punish.
Her life was destroyed because of him…
He used to have an extreme amount of control over her and used it to essentially make her into a weapon to take Adhara down. However he didn’t anticipate her falling in love with them and that being enough for her to break free from his influence. Although he hasn’t given up on making her fit the standards he expects from his bloodline, for now it seems out of reach.
As a descendant of Code, her family had always been the most wary of Cipher.
Although Buzzkill has no particular special ability that interests Ciphet, he does keep an eye on him though due to the physical resemblance Buzzkill has of Cipher’s bloodline. He can’t confirm anything about this yet due to his lack of mutations but either way, atleast he could be a vessel. So for that reason, Cipher waits in the shadows for the right moment to strike.
He doesn’t know anything in particular about him or who he is, however he does see him as a mysterious shadowy figure in some of his dreams
One of the very few lumians that he still knows from back when he was alive. Used his hatred towards corruptions to help him capture test subjects for his experiments. He had truly believed that when Achlys died, that he would be given a soul orb. However to his surprise, he wasn’t given one. Initially after his own death, Bill sort of lost interest in Achlys, that was until he renewed his interest in his research and needed test subjects once again.
Very faintly remembers Bill from when he was alive.
Although he doesn’t have the same color resemblance as his brother, Bill considers his triangle patterns a tell-tale sign of their relation
Nubia is his grand-niece. Heavily disapproves of her loyalty of the angelic movement and constantly appears in her dreams trying to break her faith.
In return for making books about him, Cipher gives him information about history and special insights into the lives and thoughts of famous lumythew.
