 Bio: The man known as Tempest should not be confused with the pirate vessel known as he Tempest, this hunter of knowledge works for the Library and is one of their top agents that has trained most of the other keepers and is behind the collection of the heads of the fallen. It is said that if one dies by decapitation their soul is forever trapped in their severed head and this soul keeps the brain vibrant and alive far longer then medically possible. Grant you this is a myth and has no scientific backing though it seems the same powers that keep the brain alive after cyber surgery can as well be used on the severed head and once collected Tempest or better known as the Soul Collector has devised a unique ability to extract what he calls the prize from the brains of the fallen. According to the legend he is able to steal the memories, from the deceased and as well harness the soul itself and absorb it into himself to fuel his magical prowess. If this is true than the Library is far more dangerous then one could ever imagine, since they have been collecting heads for generations and killing in that gruesome fashion stealing the heads after they roll off the lifeless bodies and sending many to the grave with their souls stolen and their bodies left headless and forgoing any form of goodbye and being given the respect of being buried intact.
       The Tempest is a man that according to legend has been in operation for many a generation and has been out collecting the souls of anyone who he deems to be an enemy of their cause. Though what cause that is, is unknown since the Library has only recently been exposed and I feel that this order is hiding something very dark and their end game is far worse then they let on. These Keepers have been on a quest for knowledge and seeking power through the use of this information, though with the legend stating that they can extract the memories of the deceased through their severed heads it means that they don’t even have to attempt to breach a location to gain the information. All they have to do is capture a innocent civilian that has the slightest clue of what they are looking for, decapitate them and extract the information and then dispose of the useless vessel once the soul has been expunged and absorbed by the Soul Collector.
       Just the thought of this scares me even more, when it comes to the Keepers of the Library. If you die to one of their blades this means that if their is an after life, you will never find rest and your mortal soul is truly in jeopardy of being stolen and all your private thoughts being collected and compiled in a data bank to be used for some nefarious plot. Their are legends that span the entire globe about this Keeper and his conquest of stolen heads and victims that have been left as nothing more then headless dried husks. This legend spans the globe and has been written about in many media forms and has been told throughout the ages, though only now can we confirm that he actually exists and that these old tales are more then just ghost stories or tales of baffled investigators trying to explain the supposed random killings of aids, secretaries, valets and anyone connected to a person in power but not the figurehead themselves. This also explains why the Library is able to obtain secret that can hold anyone hostage and they have the power to start and end wars at the drop of a hat.
         Tempest being actually real and not just a legend sends shivers down my spine, this man has no soul of his own it seems and he just uses those that he steals to fill his void. Also not knowing this man’s agenda is truly frightening, and why he has been sending the Keepers after the UCAS is as well concerning. For this man doesn’t see mankind as people and living being worthy of protection, no he see’s each and everyone of us as a possible tool to be used and our own souls as nothing but a prize in the Cracker Jack box of our skulls. He has been on the hunt for decades if not longer and some can say that his actions have spawned it’s own mythos having taken on a life all of it’s own. The Soul Collector is obviously far older than the documents I have dictate, though his actual age is unknown and if he is truly immortal we may never know. Though this is one legend that I am not happy about confirming to actually exist, this man collects heads like some people collect Urban Brawl cards and he has been killing in this manner for far longer then anyone actually understood.
       Why Tempest has been doing this is unknown and what the Library is up to is as well a mystery that might never be figured out. As we are having to sift through countless records and spend many hours sifting through dust tomes in the stacks to uncover even more information about this order that might have been overlooked throughout history. As we learned with the article about Archive that this order has been in operation for many thousands of years and now knowing that they have figured away to steal the knowledge from our severed heads. This means that they could very well have been in operation for far longer then we even realised. Also knowing that Tempest could very well be immortal is scary seeing that if this man has been in the Library for all these years, he could have very well been a headsman and legally stealing the memories of the condemned. Though this is just a rumour and legend, immortality seems to be far fetched but with these Keepers I wouldn’t be surprised if that was the case. These men where once nothing more then myths, and legends that where spoken in hushed tones or on the silver screen and written word.
       So with Tempest being confirmed to be more than just a character in a story book, and the Library out collecting heads and creating terror through the use of the most dreaded and gruesome form of death. We can know fear these Keepers further and hope that we will never come in contact with anyone that collects heads and steals souls. The Soul Collector is a man that should be respected and feared for he has managed to become bigger then most deities and he has as well been able to stay of the radar till now. This means that he and the other Keepers are up to something and what that is should concern anyone with any sort of common sense. They have joined the fight against the established government and this is bothersome on two levels, one what do they know and why have they sided with the rebels and two what is their end game. The biggest issue with Tempest and the other Keepers is that they are men of action and not one for mincing words. The only time you actually hear these men speak is when they are extorting or blackmailing a subject and they never seem to be concerned with small talk. They are men of action and they are men that hold the secrets, that many in power would kill to keep silent. So just best to avoid the Keepers and Tempest and try to manage to keep your head attached to your body, cause if Tempest wants your head their is little that can be done to save your soul from his wrath. Lets just hope these Keepers revel their agenda one day and till that day don’t loose your head.
