The Jester

The Jester is a mysterious but powerful individual or group who has been conducting large-scale social experiments on humanity for some time. The term "experiment" is mostly only used by him (as determined through interrogations of his agents), and could hardly be called scientific. The Jester is responsible for the bequeathing various supernatural "gifts" on humans, some of which have been employed by the Chiron Group and Olympia Corporation, though Chiron keeps close surveillance on these employees in case these gifts give him control over them. The Jester has never been personally encountered or witnessed by Chiron agents, but many of his "Court familiars" have been collected and interrogated at the site of his experiments. They are usually very forthcoming with information about the current experiment, though they are usually only aware of the first stages of the plan. Chiron became aware of the Jester after the Shinjuku Incident, but acquisition of U.S. Bureau of Abnormal Investigations documents indicate someone with the Jester identity took actions as far back as the establishment of the Bureau during Abraham Lincoln's presidency. It is unknown if this Jester was the same individual or if it is a name used by an entire organization.
