The Magnus Archives/Chess pieces | Elias Bouchard, The King

Some call him cruel and apathetic – most would, probably. But he does not interfere. It is not who he is. It is not his place. He watches. He observes. He is the silent eye of the storm. The King of the board. 

Do not lose him, or you lose the game.

               a WOLF is a WOLF.

                                               even in a CAGE.

                                                                         even dressed in SILK.

Elias’s physical and mental capabilities that don’t come from serving Beholding, not counting his memories and experiences of course, are entirely dependent of the body he inhabits. So, while he is careful to choose a host whose disappearance or personality change wouldn’t be noticed, he also takes note of what they know and what they can do. 

For his current body, he noted the young Bouchard was just a young researcher just trying to get by without being noticed, getting high on his breaks to make the monotony and creepy things seem more interesting. He was a capable man, and one who chose to carry several large books and file boxes at once instead of making multiple trips.
