Number Six

Number Six is an Obrimos of the Free Council who serves as the Free Council Sentinel. He is a member of the Court and is of the Roses of Eden Legacy.

History
Longstanding members of the Consilium by the Bay would remember Number Six from a series of incidents in the early 1990s, when he was in his early teens. A Sleepwalker, he somehow managed to be present at a number of major incidents, often with completely implausible reasons for being there. He was particularly determined to dog the steps of then-Sentinel Demdike; if she knows why, she has never said.

He vanished abruptly in 1994 when, as it turns out, his father got a job in the Ribble Nature Reserve, the family relocating to Bamber Bridge. It is here that he began instead to catch the attention of the Preston Consilium, where another former Sentinel, Eleanor Rigby, took a different approach to the boy. Taking him under her wing, she tutored him in occult philosophy and by the time he Awakened he already had an advanced understanding, having a small vocabulary in the High Speech, some preparation for what he might see at the Watchtower, and enough clarity of thought regarding spell imagos to be immediately recognised as a prodigy.

Rigby stepped down as Sentinel then in his favour, and continued to mentor him but encouraged him to find a different Cabal so that his understanding would broaden. He drifted through two of the crumbling Cabals of the time before being brought into the Court. Rigby inducted him into the Roses of Eden, and the survivability and unusual observational prowess of that Legacy made him a very capable Sentinel, though he seldom acted himself - by agreement of the Court, de Molay's focus on their Cabal was already too great, so much of his information was passed to people like Retrograde, Red Hand, or Marlowe to be acted upon.

Since the Consilia merged, he has occasionally been noticed around Lancaster wearing County Council overalls and tending to its various hanging flowerpots.
