Hey Ryan,

I was thinking about what you wrote in the last sentence: "It's in his nature to obscure and perhaps reinvent himself."  Have you ever read "The 48 Laws of Power" by Robert Greene? Here are three laws that came to mind when I read that. Law 3:  Conceal your intentions;  Law 4: Always say less than necessary; Law 25: Recreate yourself. It's a great read even if you never want to apply in real life, but fictional Blank Bodies use these tactics all the time. Check out his other books like "The Art of Seduction" if you plan on writing about Charisma based Characters or ones that have access to Presence.

I believe the link below is the abridged version. I have the Audible version narrated by Richard Poe, which is better in my opinion [I listened to the abridged version on CDs].
