Stephen Alzis - 2. page

Some ideas I had while I was at work today:

Stephen Alziz is a Sleeper agent
The mysterious past, the domination of the Fate, the ungodly influence… Amazing what some carefully applied cliomancy can do, no? Think about it, the guy is in the perfect position to keep the New York OU under wraps, not to mention keep his Sleeper allies clued-in on what’s going down in his neck of the woods.

Hell, the Fate’s early attemps to take over the NY crime families might be what made the Sleepers drop the hammer in the first place. Alzis is just there to keep them and everyone else in line.

Stephen Alzis is a demon
Let’s face it, people have been dying for a really long time now, so there are probably some VERY old demons hanging out on either side of the veil (those Loa guys, for instance), many of which might very well have been sorcerors during life. Alzis would have to be freakin’ ancient considering how powerful he’s supposed to be. Plus it explains how he keeps dying and coming back : possession and plastic surgery do wonders.

Stephen Alzis doesn’t exist
Or at least he didn’t until recently. See the Fate were having problems with their whole “let’s take over organised crime” plan long before the Sleepers hit town (for obvious reasons). So they created a figurehead, a Keiser Soze style boogeyman to strike fear into the hearts of their enemies.

Everything was going great until one day they walked into their offices and found their fabrication calmly sitting behing a desk filling his nails. Whatever happened to the ones who told him to buzz off, it was enough to scare the others into his service.

What is he? Does it really matter? He is Stephen Alzis. He rules New York.

You do NOT fuck with him.

As if I didn’t need YET ANOTHER reason not to like d20.

And of course by “not like”, I mean hate. Hate with 2x4s. With nails in them.

On fire.
