Cassandra, Roark, and Wei Tenji moved into the council chambers, a small man following behind them. It was the head of the Guild Office, Cicifus. The man, Jahangir Nikator, had requested an audience to reapply for guild status after it had been stripped due to Lagi overstepping his bounds. Cicifus was unsure of what this Mr. Nikator thought he could bring to the table, but it was his duty to hear out the application. Word had spread during the Reim-Kou conflict of a man claiming to be acting on behest of the leader of the disbanded Typhon guild. The man had not shed a pleasant light on the disbanded guild, acting suspiciously and attempting to infiltrate the rebuilding Fanalis Corps during their missions to force Kou from Reim borders. However, the man had apparently redeemed himself, in a fashion, assisting in the final battle. It still left a bad taste in the mouth of the Guild Master, why the man had acted in such a suspicious way and behaved as though the leader of Typhon were a secret.
But the conflict was over and the man named Apollo, if that were his real name, had disappeared without a word, leaving confusion abound concerning Typhon and its motives. What exactly this man, Jahangir, intended to do with his guild had not yet been revealed. Rumors were flying that he was trying to do everything he could, all at once. He had apparently repurchased the guild hall Typhon had been stationed in with his own funds, and the rumors claimed he was taking in those less fortunate and was offering jobs to them. That alone made Cicifus uncertain, due to the Workforce Initiative. He had recently began pushing more and more of the guild leaders to involve themselves with Opportunity Hall, the base of operations for the Workforce Initiative, encouraging those in more high specialization fields to open their doors to training the men and women hoping to gain a steady source of income and a profession. If Typhon were to try and push into that field, it could cause conflict, as the Workforce Initiative had been gaining support among the citizens as a positive move for Reim, thus freeing up the Council to dedicate more funding to it. The Treasury did not have the funds to support two workforce programs and they already had one that was flourishing.
Cicifus sighed as he took a seat between Cassandra and Roark. He would hear out this man, perhaps he had some idea worth pursuing. The Councilors waited for Jahangir Nikator to be shown into the room and begin pitching his ideas.
