Fakaikos

Fakaikos is the name colloquially used to refer to a malign paradox entity generated by Achaikos during the Argent Agenda. As with all such paradox entities, Fakaikos wanted to destroy the Mage responsible for its creation.

After its creation, Fakaikos disappeared into the electrical system for some time, biding its time, during which Achaikos confided his concern to Rayth, who pursued matters with a dogged determination. She hacked into the local power grid's oversight centre, using this data to monitor which sector Fakaikos was in at any given time.

Realising he had just manifested near the Sanctum, she went to investigate, confronting Fakaikos who had manifested a form identical to his creator. After an awkward conversation, Fakaikos realised that his cover had been blown, injuring her with electrical discharge so severely that she fled to Pallas' room at Lancaster University.

Rowntree was alerted, alerting the rest of the Rose in his turn, and information on what happened was passed along to the Adamantine Arrow. Tyr took Rayth's hacking idea, expanding it into a phone App codenamed Project Cake Horse which was issued to all members of the Arrow, including newest member Rynel.

The Arrow monitored Fakaikos' movements for some time and struck when its actions had cut it off most cleanly from the electrical network it used for travel. A vicious exchange saw Rynel nearly drowned before the Arrow destroyed the entity.
