|-|"The Tiebreaker"=
== The Tiebreaker ==
O5-13 does not exist. Everyone outside the Overseer Council is told he exists, and memos are created under O5-13's name, but O5-13 exists only as a tiebreaker vote.
⠀
O5-13's vote is rotated between each Overseer Council member, starting at 1, and passed up a number each time a tiebreaker vote is required and used.
⠀
Holding O5-13's vote is required to access a few selected databases. This knowledge may be attached to O5-13's vote (and wiped from the holder's memory when the vote is passed on), or it may simply comprise access to 13's unique databases.
|-|"Tamlin"=
== Tamlin ==
Either male or gender-fluid (reports differ, may be relevant to anomalous traits). Unknown descent (reports differ, may be relevant to anomalous traits). Unknown origin - possibly Middle Eastern? Age unknown. Tall, red-headed.
⠀
Per these reports, the "Tiebreaker" reports are accurate. However, O5-13 does exist, despite his vote not being held by himself most of the time. Original identity Dr. ███████████████████ or possibly "Yoshua ███████████" - unclear if these are alternative names for the same person, or different people holding the same position. "Tamlin" may (or may not) be more of a title than a specific individual - he/they continue to elude us.
⠀
Holds only an advisory position by necessity. Is an anomalously altered human existing in a temporally destabilized state or location; partially "unstuck in time". Acts as a fail-safe for restoring 13's vote to its proper bearer, should it be compromised. Reserves the right to vote, but only exercises this right on pivotal decisions.
⠀
Some reports (not all) indicate drastic shifts in appearance, race, and gender, but the presence of red hair (whether natural or colored) remains consistent. Unknown relevance; possible perception alteration issues or literal shape-shifting.
⠀
Occupies a room (or rooms) in "Tamlin House", a hidden location related to SDS-████, accessible only through a number of esoteric methods. Appears to be bound to the location. Does not usually participate directly in Overseer Council meetings, but observes most of them (not necessarily synchronously).
⠀
"Shows what you know."
|-|"The Meddler"=
== The Meddler ==
Male. European descent. Yorican origin. Mid-30s. No unusual appearance.
⠀
Most reports of O5-13 result from the conflicts he starts or becomes involved in, due to inter-office gossip from other O5's personal staff. No one outside the Overseer Council appears to be aware of this Overseer member's role in the Foundation; the role he generally seems to play in practice is interfering with other Overseer members' projects. Known for ranting about how other Overseer members (and lower-ranked Foundation personnel) are not running operations correctly.
⠀
Not a particularly popular Overseer Council member. Surprisingly, reports do not indicate many assassination attempts.
|-|"Death"=
== Death ==
Gender unknown. Descent unknown. Origin unknown. Age unknown. Appearance unknown.
⠀
One of the more outlandish reports on a possible O5-13; claims that Death itself was bound by the Overseer Council in the early 19th century. Per these reports, the slot of O5-13 was created for Death in the first place. Euphemistically referred to as "The Other Overseer".
⠀
Death is both a member and a prisoner of the Overseer Council; it can cast a vote as normal. However, it is imprisoned by the rest of the Overseer Council, and by a majority vote of the Overseer Council, the Council can control it. Death apparently otherwise carries out its functions as normal.
⠀
SDS-███ does not exist; the longevity of Overseers actually stems from O5-13. By majority vote, they can order O5-13 to stay its hand from any Council member — or indeed anyone in the world, though using this power for non-Council members seems to temporarily weaken Death's chains, and is therefore rarely used.
⠀
When used, it is typically on a mass scale — SDS-████ and similar anomalous items also do not exist, and are used as cover for every time that Council has voted to utilized O5-13's power to return most of the world's population back to life.
⠀
These reports may, or may not, conflict with other claims that the Overseer Council's immortality comes from imprisoning Death, or from residing in a location shielded from the processes that cause mortality. Alternative reports claim that the Administrator, not O5-13, has assumed the role of Death.
⠀
Unknown connection, if any, to SDS-████.
⠀
"Legion of Chaos" source also identifies Death as having been bound to the Council by a bargain, in exchange for the life and Council seat of one ███████████████, the former O5-13 ("The Meddler"). SDS-███ exists but is insufficient for the Council's purposes, and long since exhausted. The body of ███████████████, which grants Death a council seat, is preserved somewhere in the South Atlantic.
⠀
This report contradicts the specifics of other reports claiming O5-13 to be "Death", but we can confirm that there is some form of anomaly in the South Atlantic, with antimemetic properties matching the description given in this report. Something is being hidden here.
|-|"AI Complex"=
== AI Complex ==
[Personal traits not applicable]
O5-13 is an artificial intelligence construct. This AI construct (using a variety of anomalous technological and non-technological methods) is supposedly able to take all factors relevant to the Foundation's goals and make a recommendation on any major course of action.
⠀
Due to certain consequences (whether occult, resourced-based, or simply bureaucratic) of making use of this AI construct, it is only employed when the Overseer Council must break a tie on a non-trivial matter.
⠀
Further details have been remarkably hard to attain even by esoteric methods. Whether or not this version of O5-13 exists, there are secrets behind this thing that the Foundation wishes to keep hidden.
|-|"The Activist"=
== The Activist ==
Male. South Asian descent. Sikh origin. Appears to be about 50. Formerly affiliated with 0th Anti-Cult Regiment, a colonial regiment in the Luxurian Raj. Signatory of the ██████████████ Convention if "The Persian" is not present.
⠀
Major advocate for a meritocratic administration within the SDS Foundation. Known to have formed an informal voting bloc with O5-11 and O5-12 to pursue racial equality within the SDS Foundation.
⠀
Also known to have voted with O5-1 for many operational matters. Known O5-1 prior to the ██████████████████ Convention. Perhaps a puppet for O5-1 to gain an additional vote in the O5 Council? Perhaps in exchange for said meritocratic administration?
|-|"The Persian"=
== The Persian ==
Male. Middle Eastern descent. Apothilene origin. Appears to be about 70. Shia Muslim. Formerly an independent consultant on anomalous matters for the Safirist Sarpistan. Signatory of the ██████████████ Convention, if "The Activist" is not present.
Knows O5-7 prior to the ████████████████████ Convention. Holds strong suspicion towards O5-1.
⠀
In charge of the 'Autonomous Administration of the Greater Middle East', a sub-organisation of the SDS Foundation based in the Middle East. Him and the AAGME do not exist in realities where "The Activist" exists. In fact, I can't seem to find the Office for the Reclamation of Islamic Artefacts or its equivalent in realities where "The Persian" takes up O5-13. AAGME and ORIA – counterparts???
⠀
Resembles ORIA founding member, ████████████, in realities where "The Activist" is present instead.
|-|"The Pedestrian"=
== The Pedestrian ==
Male. Latin American descent. Late-50s. No unusual appearance.
⠀
O5-13's special connection to the anomalous gives him a perspective no other council member could begin to fathom. While Normalcy Confirmation meetings require eleven members for quorum, no meeting is allowed to proceed without O5-13's attendance.
⠀
Additionally, he is the only member of the original Overseer council to survive the Caesar incident. Investigation into the nature of the incident and O5-13 is still ongoing.
