The Chessmaster is not power—he is design. Long before Calmarith’s collapse, before the Corporation revealed its teeth, he was already moving pieces into place. His face is rarely seen, his presence felt more than confirmed.
He does not command armies or rule cities. He predicts outcomes and ensures they arrive on schedule. To the Muses, he is a whisper in records, a symbol etched where it shouldn’t exist, a voice heard by only one at a time.
Whether he seeks their success or their ruin is irrelevant. What matters is that they are already part of his game.
