*Bureau File: The one appearance of this being caused a breakout that was uncontrolled, uncontrollable and undeniable, other wise called the Healing Wave. It has been attributed to "God" and the Bureau is happy to allow that misconception. Coran's grandson Julian explained the issue to Bureau agents at the time and mentioned that if he had not shaped the wave the magical energy would have granted random desires of everyone it passed. Bureau agents not yet born shudder at the thought of that.<P>If you encounter this being on Earth, run, do not ask questions, if you are capable of running, run, it will not end well. There is no malice in this. Coran is simply too powerful a being to co-exist with the world as it is. If you encounter this being on his own world, be polite, be truthful. His cult following indicates a strong desire for truthfulness. Do not act in an authoritative manner. Do not do anything to threaten him. Greyhawken people have been noted for a generally direct and violent reaction to personal threats. All thus far encountered have been armed, some heavily.</P><P>As indicated this being has a considerable cult following. The cult identifies him as the Patron of Centaurs, Patron of Fathers, Keeper of the Forge and the Oathbinder, In general they are non-violent and are not in the habit of dragging people off for sacrifice. If Coran's cult followers are encountered treat them in a friendly and respectful manner. Do not attempt to dissuade them of their belief. It is not worth your effort and could ignite a violent encounter. If found on Earth do not attempt to confiscate cult objects. Yes those are real knives, abet tiny ones.</P><P>It has been noted that Papa Joe a Vodouisant in the Vista City area wears such a cult object. Robert Canna of The Order of Magi in Long Beach knows a great deal about Greyhawke religions and religious practices. Anthony also in Long Beach usually found at the Warp Drive Project is a primal being that is willing to talk, if you are frank with him. He is Coran's great Grandson.</P><P>Coran has been noted to be hanging out on Mt Olympus, a safe location from which to observe. He has not interfered or intervened in anything that we know of, other than dealing with some interpersonal issues within the Olympians themselves. Yes the ancient gods are real. He is preventing them from interfering or intervening.
