Eliot mentioned Zef. Not exactly who he'd recommend. But it made him sit up straighter and pay attention. Eliot's plan wasn't to stop the killing of helpless children, but to make it seem like they had stopped. To offer up a different solution but people like Sasha and himself who sparked in violence probably wouldn't make it past the cut. How many of the people in this room would make this new Atharim cut.
And they wanted him to be the face of it. To be the false face. He wouldn't have much choice, his bargain with the Atharim was that he do what they asked. Even if they were a new faction they were the ones keeping him and his friends alive. And if the Ascendancy backed it?? What could he do?
