Concept
Paranoid Digital Saboteur
Touchstones
Blake Donnelly: A local construction worker who is quietly organizing labor protests against Red Hand Holdings' shady land acquisitions. Blake serves as Elliot's grounding wire to physical reality. He offers the physical capability and social fluidity that Elliot lacks, reminding the paranoid hacker that real people are getting hurt by the data he uncovers. Maya Carpenter: A museum curator and local folklore specialist looking into the strange disappearances and weird history around Newport. Elliot uses her as an analog decoder, anonymously dropping decrypted files on her desk so she can piece together the occult terminology he finds in S.E.A.I.'s servers without exposing his IP address.
