Always eager to usurp and overthrow, though fastidious in his endeavors to hide such urges, our hero Esifex senses an opening.
After some initial observation and studying of his opponents, and potential challengers, plans started to formulate in his mind. Gears within gears, plots within plots within plots, subtle manipulations that wouldn't be traced back to him for many moons to come... but how best to execute these plans? The ever-changing nature of the internet itself, and the community in general, meant it would be hard to efficiently play mindgames with the denizens within. Perhaps, he would need an ally...
...but where could such an ally be found? The Librarians were a noteworthy choice; they already had their own positions of power, and would not be threatened by the chaos. Perhaps one of them would be willing to aid Esifex?
Alternatively, the other artistic minds of the community may be a viable resource. While the Librarians would be perfect, the other writers would be ideal, as well. All were creative, all were clever, and many were good with subterfuge - a necessary evil for writing suspense-ridden stories. Unfortunately, Esifex couldn't be sure of their ability to keep a secret. They would make good comrades, but poor secret keepers.
Then Esifex realized he was trying to compete for an 'Idiot' tag, and shrugged.
