The fellow in the photo is Jason Nyx. I suspect the subjects of these mails may hold clues, as they've been pretty varied.

I found there was a comic series featuring a character called 'Helios' and an organisation called 'The Shining Path'. I decided to look for similar references associated with the Umbrati.

Babylon 5 had a character called 'Galen', and a race of 'Shadows'.

Battlestar Galactica also had a 'Galen', plus it had episodes titled 'The Ties that Bind' (not an exact match), and 'The Road Less Traveled'.

I've tried working out passwords from these and plugging them in, but I haven't got anywhere.

I just wanted to mention this email I got from her.
It seems Jacob and Annette-- the people mentioned in the burned diary entry we found in the Tunnels-- are her parents. Sorry if this is a trout.

Miss Valenti is not part of the Society... yet. We are still trying to determine her place in our organization, and even so she must come in out of her own free will; we cannot force her. And we don't feel she's ready yet; she does not understand her potential yet.

Jacob and Annette were my parents, and it angers me that someone would stoop so low as to disclose private information like that. I'd rather not discuss it further, and the culprits will be found and dealt with accordingly.

Thank you for bringing it to my attention.

Can anyone do something with the image? I don't have any photo editing software. I thought this might be something important on the gun handle.

I think it would be good to mention that Jason was on his way to Boston.

EDIT: and if he left from Nyxtel well he left from New York, NY

text attachment from email earlier today:

So I think this may be important about the RoadLessTraveled

While my suspicions aren't completely allayed, this makes the Lightbringers much more likeable to me. Maybe I'll even turn into a "full" lighter yet Wink

The weapon is a dragunov sniper rifle if anyone is interested, and I agree that the symbol is probably not a normal feature of the gun.

Thank You Ace!
I've been searching rifle/ gun sites (um, I am not a gun person it was a bit scary!) I'm glad you found it! I was also googling gun/rifle logos, emblems & symbols and so far haven't found anything close, so that makes sense.

I actually found this for the gun but it doesnt have the scope on it ..slightly different from ace and again the symbol doesnt seem to be a thing thats suppose to be on it:

The name is a Tigr-9 and its russian but I dont think the info is real relevant but putting it here in case.

I was going to post this earlier but got tied up with some things. I was playing around with the symbol with some of the people on the IRC chan and for some reason I thought I could see letters in the symbol. Probably nothing, but hey, it's worth a shot.



GCO or such, though some have said they see GOG. At first I had thought of the triskele, which would be significant of the upcoming summer solstice, however I can't seem to find any indication of spirals.
