The reality deviant known as Merces was first encountered as part of the Orphic Circle, an occult group interested in dealing with entropic EDEs and entropic space in general. Tentatively assumed to be a member of the Euthanathos. Appearing as an infiltrator to that group, Merces assisted the group in infiltrating the first meeting itself, and quickly became more aligned with the group. A technomancer, Merces was familiar with the way Technocratic operatives operated (Heads: Oblivion Wins).
