## Canon

The Employers are a collection of ethereal beings described as being custodians of Nevada. Each one of them are tasked with a specific duty in order to keep ***The Machine*** running smoothly. They are:

* ***The Stygian*** - Responsible with transporting deceased Nevadeans to ***The Other Place*** to dissolve their ***S-3LFs*** for recycling.

* ***The Auditor*** - Responsible with housing Nevadeans that pose a serious threat to the natural order in a secure realm for more robust assimilation. Also makes sure that the other Employers are doing their jobs.

* ***The Conductor*** - Responsible for utilizing recycled S-3LFs to birth new Nevadeans. Also charged with keeping a count of all living and non-living Nevadeans at all times.

* ***The Deliberator*** - Responsible with deciding when a Nevadean lives or dies, as well as routing which path they take through the afterlife.

On top of that, they are all responsible with reporting any inconsistencies within reality to The Machine and attempt to solve it. They have existed for as long as Nevada has, and were among the first to walk it. Nonetheless, The Employers typically work in the background and do not interact with Nevadeans - with the exception of The Auditor.

It should also be noted that The Employers are living gateways to their designated dimensions and realms which can be accessed. The Stygian is connected to ***The Other Place***, The Auditor to ***Hell***, The Conductor to ***The Calefactory***, and The Deliberator to ***The Library***.

## Pre-Gerendum

Prior to the events of Incident I, The Employers were not only performing their duties, but they also were actively hunting down ***The Gambler***, ***The Maker***, and ***The Primogeniture***. Though they are unaware of their exact locations, each one of them are actively scouring every inch of reality to find them. The Auditor is also maintaining the ***AAHW***.

## Plot Involvement

*This section will be developed upon progression of the Incident.*

## Faction Interaction

* ***The Maker*** - A character from ***MADNESS: Project Nexus*** who made His series debut in ***Incident I: MEET YOUR MAKER***. The Maker was present during their creation and thus is very familiar with them. As followers of The Machine, The Employers are hostile toward Him.

* ***The Gambler*** - A character from ***MADNESS: Project Nexus*** who made his series debut in ***Incident I: MEET YOUR MAKER***. Due to The Gambler's close ties with The Maker and his existence being put into question by The Machine's system, The Gambler has been marked for deletion.

* ***The Machine*** - A character from ***MADNESS: Project Nexus*** who made its series debut in ***Incident I: MEET YOUR MAKER***. It created The Machine for the sole purpose of being the custodians of Nevada. The Employers serve under it with fierce loyalty.

## Trivia

* The Auditor is a unique Employer in that they are willing to pick fights with the mortal inhabitants of Nevada.
	+ Though all Employers are equally valuable to The Machine, it can be argued that The Auditor is the most inferior due to their behavior.
* They are often described as angels.
* Though they are often depicted together, The Employers rarely interact with each other directly as they prefer to work alone.
