Jer wasn't sure what was really going on. The Lagueux Family had always been prestigious in the Atharim. And they held a secret so deep that it would rock the foundation of the family. This man was trusting his secret to him. He could out him in hopes that he could be given a free pass -- but Jer knew that was not likely the case. They would hunt him down just as much as they'd kill the man who held the Moscow Atharim in check. It was his home the Regus had chosen due to its closeness to the Ascendancy -- a little known fact at the time that he was a godling himself. And now it was known that both gods and the Atharim existed. The world had changed. And now this man wanted to change it even more and he wanted his help.
"What do you need my help for?"
Eliot smiled. "I need someone who is an excellent judge of character to take the knowledge I have and the knowledge you gain to determine who amongst the people on my list are worthy allies and maybe find someone we can assign to lead the cause in the limelight. We need to take our work public, but I cannot do it. Neither can you, our families have too much at stake. We need a face the world will trust and one that our fellows will follow. Under our guidance of course."
"And what about those hunting me?"
"In the very near future that won't be a problem. With the reopening of the Mansion we will have new rules. I just need to implement the safe guards."
"Okay. What do you want me to do?" Jer wasn't exactly sold on the matter, but if he could make it safe to remain in Moscow then he'd give it a try. At least for now.
