|-|"The Accountant"=
== The Accountant ==
Male. African descent. African origin. Appears to be mid-40s; almost certainly older. Large-bodied. Always dresses in extremely expensive tailored clothing with similarly expensive jewellery. Wears dark wrap-around glasses: smoked glass framed in ivory. May or may not be to hide his eyes. Likely occult significance.
⠀
O5-12 plays the role of accountant for the Overseer Council. A mathematical genius; ensures all the Foundation's numbers add up. Has access to certain data that no other Foundation member does, for this purpose.
⠀
Precise, calm, practical. A strong believer in order. Every part of his daily route, and indeed every action he takes, right down to his drinking habit, is strictly scheduled.
⠀
"Legion of Chaos" source presents an alternate but still somewhat consistent picture of this O5-12. Not an original Council member, ███████████ was promoted following the death of the previous O5-12. His mathematical ability allows him to see correlations invisible to everyone else - not quite precognition, but may as well be. Some of the background is misinformation (likely including the photo — though I can't be sure, for obvious reasons), but trying to verify this information led down some interesting paths.
|-|"Adam"=
== Adam ==
Male. Ashkenazi Jewish descent. Yorican origin. Somewhere between 130 and 200 years old. Appearance unknown.
⠀
Very little information exists on O5-12's role within the SDS Foundation, except that he was an exceptional researcher. Known primarily for fathering a stillborn child in the mid or late pre-100s, and transforming her into SDS-███in an ill-fated attempt to save her. Most information has been expunged from accessible Foundation records. Recovered information suggests a familial relation to Dr. ███████████. (Older brother? Father?)
⠀
"Adam" is one of the few Overseer Council members to retire. His retirement, by all accounts, was voluntary, which came as a surprise to me given his history. It appears that he was, in fact, the first ever Overseer Command member to retire.
⠀
Interestingly, it is unclear whether "Adam" was required to undergo the amnesic administration supposedly mandatory for retiring or removed O5 Command members. His location, unfortunately, is unknown to me.
⠀
There are also some rumors suggesting his connections to "Department of Abnormalities". Nature of this department and O5-12 connections to it requires more investigation.
⠀
Other rumors, on the other hand, completely dismiss part of the above information, saying that he was one of the 12 original overseers, Convention on Preternatural Phenomena signatory — which created the modern Veil policy — and last general director of Yorican Secure Containment Initiative before it merged into SDS Foundation in 1870. According to this version, "Adam" was also killed during the Great Factory Purge and his position was passed on to his descendant; probably "The American" who, according to this version, would have the position of O5-12 position instead of O5-6.
|-|"The Contractor"=
== The Contractor ==
Male. African/European descent. Yorican origin. Mid-40s. No unusual appearance.
⠀
O5-12 was an emergency appointment following a previous assassination (or assassination attempt) during an Overseer Council issue that required either an O5-12 or an O5-1, and O5-1 was unavailable.
⠀
After this, he couldn't simply be demoted; therefore, he was assigned to side projects. He purchases land to build SDS Foundation facilities on. He works with people who design Foundation facilities to make sure their needs are met; he works with local governments (often to request that military installations be built over actual SDS Foundation sites as a cover), and he hires new Foundation personnel to implement such projects.
⠀
Additionally, O5-12 acts as an unofficial head of human services, requiring that SDS Foundation personnel receive regular physical and mental checkups. Despite apparently caring a great deal about the average SDS Foundation member, O5-12 is usually described as an obsessive, distrustful shut-in. His staff is very small, and they do very little.
|-|"The Trainman", or "The Conductor"=
== The Trainman, or The Conductor ==
Male. European descent. Yorican origin. Appearance unknown.
⠀
Assisted O5-11 in developing many of the SDS Foundation's early containment procedures. Approved of weaponization of SDS objects. Supported extensive research into the anomalous.
⠀
One of O5-12's significant roles was overseeing the rotation of SDSs between SDS Foundation facilities. This rotation was publicly aimed at getting new perspectives on SDS objects for research and effective containment purposes. Less public, but no less important, was the secondary purpose of preventing any group of researchers from working with humanoid SDSs for too long.
⠀
Initially resisted defecting from the SDS Foundation, but was strong-armed into joining the Insurgency by his wife, O5-11. His position of control over SDS rotation and transportation allowed the Legion of Chaos to make off with a very high number of SDSs (particularly humanoid SDSs) during the schism. Additionally, his popularity with Foundation generals who desired weaponization of SDS objects gave the Insurgency a significant power boost during the SDS Foundation Civil War.
|-|"The Physician"=
== The Physician ==
Male. East Asian descent. Sizzlean origin. Appears to be 70. Formerly affiliated with the Abnormality Institute (異學會; yì xué huì), sometimes called 'Sizzlean Abnormality Institute' (中華異學會; zhōng huá yì xué huì). Signatory of the ██████████████████████ Convention.
⠀
Believed to have been invited to join the Overseer Council only due to his knowledge of a "memory-altering drug" (i.e. amnestics). Collaborated with the Zanssi Army to eliminate (betray?) the Meng clan; rationale is to monopolise amnestics for the Foundation.
⠀
Coined the term 'Safe'. Rudimentary knowledge of English.
⠀
Note: Amnestics might have undergone potentially radical advancements over the years. O5-12's statements regarding amnestics might not be applicable.
|-|"Cyrus"=
== Cyrus ==
O5-12 is a brain in a jar.
⠀
From the reports I've heard, his body was failing, and the other Overseer council members wanted to keep him around as an advisor. They had the technology to do it, so they went ahead and preserved his mind.
⠀
It is unclear why the SDS Foundation specifically chose this method, rather than one of the many other ways of prolonging life at their disposal.
