| Secret |
| Secret is the newly acquired name for a group of individuals who have chosen to blend into one. Shadow was the original name of the woman who chose to take five other basement dwellers inside her. We do not know the original names of the other five Paradox members. |
| Secret is a member of our basement society, or the Darkness as she prefers to call it. She is loyal to this portion of the Paradox system, but not to the other sections. She has the unusual distiction of having been one of the more prized slaves of the Darkness who was granted her freedom to roam at will. She holds no animosity towards those who enslaved her. She believes that the hierarchy of master and slave is the only honourable relationship that can occur between people. She believes also that it was her excellence in servitude that won her the right to remove her chains. Secret still wears a portion of her chains around her neck as a symbol of her undying connection to the masters of the Darkness. |
| Secret has become somewhat political in recent times, choosing to act as a spy and messenger for the leaders of the Dark Ones. There are among the basement dwellers those who believe they will regain complete control of the body - Secret is one of those people. She has made it clear that she will fight for this when the time is ordained. |
| Many of us on the main floor are afraid of Secret and those like her. However, we do recognize that she is an important connection to the basement and we will continue to communicate with her at those times when she chooses to join us on this floor. |
