A representative of The Drug Lord #13

Open benlk opened 7 years ago

The Drug Lord is a distributed conscience powered by peyote. (This is a Laundry take on the Unsong character.)

The Drug lord has many bodies; the actor playing the character plays them all night long, but after 30 minutes their character stops being the Drug Lord and starts being the person coming off their high.

"Don’t be an idiot. The Drug Lord is everyone’s enemy. He can’t use Names, but he has friends who can. If he gets the Spectral Name, things get a lot worse." (https://unsongbook.com/chapter-37-love-that-never-told-can-be/)

Drug Lord character can't use magic, can't detect magic, knows magic exists and knows people who can use it.

Representatives of The Drug Lord should, when someone assumes that they are still speaking to the previous inhabitant of the body, say, "Who is it ... that you believe you are speaking to?"
