-since he's canonically an ex-military medic i like to think he knows ronald inference and DM from his military days but they dont recognize him from that time bc he covered his face
-dude has GOTTA be older than 21 like theres no way in hell he graduated med school AND join/leave the military at that age right
-i think he's the most underweight aesop bc as we've seen from the manga his diet is terrible
-yes i do think he's partially responsible for noir's poisoning/white's creation
-I think Y.R was there for most of his childhood and passed away when he was in his teens. i dont think his birth dad was in the picture or jerry (thank god)

HM interesting question! its p vague how much of his deception was deliberate but i like to think he 100% knew what he was doing setting puppeteer up the way he did, knowing what it would do to her just so the bureau can have her research to themselves. I don't think he'd allow himself to feel regret over it, and probably justifies to himself that it was necessary (it wasnt). i think the only time he'll actually start questioning his actions/choices back then is when the events of coa 4 takes place and he's forced to watch everything he sacrificed tracy's work for become meaningless, bc the results of her and pickman's research (molten hound) can't be controlled

thank you! hmm heres some random ones

-i like to think it takes place around 1920 in the timeline
-aesop and kevin are the older members of the F.E.A.R gang, while eli and tracy have been there shorter (tracy being the newest)
-the abyss-infused weapons of the F.E.A.R gang were likely prototypes/expereiments to see how the bureau's weaponry and machines would react to being fused with the abyss for later projects like the jammed gear that ultimately became the reason for molten hound existing.
-PERSONALLY i think puppeteer was the one who ultimately got corrupted by the abyss regardless of whiplash's efforts to stop it. in fact i think the bureau intended for her to die so they could take her work for themselves in the case she wouldn't agree to their more morally questionable activities like their part in the race's creation in coa 4. maybe trickster stopped whatever self sacrifice whiplash attempted
-as a result of his abyss weapon being connected to his eyes, i think the prolong exposure gradually worsened both surveyor's normal vision as well as his mind. probably gets morbid prophecies like normal eli except more abyss-centered
-i think trickster is the only one who knows the full extent of how morally corrupt the bureau is past the surface level goal of stopping the abyss from going wild in society (in actuality they just want to weaponize/control it for their own goals). whiplash and surveyor (due to his visions) have inklings but nothing about the true extent of it, while puppeteer is too new to suspect corruption until the confrontation with pickman
-no canonical basis for this but i like to think puppeteer and patchwork used to be workshop buddies until the bureau caught wind of his double teaming and punished him accordingly. aesop started working with her instead but puppeteer liked working with patchwork more (she just has a weird feeling in her gut about trickster)
