Who: Andrew Jaeger
Username: a.jaeger
Warnings: cw: fire damage/injuries, mention of death
Hello. For those who don't know me, my name is Andrew Jaeger and I'm involved in the Investigation and Security divisions of ADI.
I wanted to make the group aware of some work I've been doing on a string of fires. Due to past incidents involving the Desolation, I've been keeping an eye on reports for arson and other suspicious fires, matching them to the modus operandi of the Avatar we know as Pyre. These recent reports caught my eye, particularly as they seem to be moving toward Massachusetts from the original incident in New Haven, Connecticut.
Specifically, the situation is this: the popularity of "fire shots", or lighting a shot or cocktail with high alcohol content on fire, has led to injuries and four deaths in the area, and reports of a patron ordering several fire shots and then vanishing. One bartender has claimed that she witnessed a man drink a still-flaming shot right in front of her.
Right now this is unfortunately spotty, but I want to keep an eye on it. The proximity, the spectacle, and the unfortunate fatalities are worth noting. I'm happy to accept any questions, comments, or other information for my file- if I can make a concrete case for further investigation, I'll submit it for action. Otherwise, it will be filed with ADI as a case to be watched, since Pyre is still unaccounted for and a credible threat.
Thank you for your time.

I don't have the full picture of their involvement with each other or what Pyre was looking for in Wolf Pen, but he's young and his previous home at the circus is gone now. I expect that whatever loose ends he's at, he hasn't lost his desire for chaos and horror.

I'll add it to the information I have, regardless, because I think the closer we can get to a complete profile on Pyre, the better. He may be a small consideration in the whole bigger picture, but given the situation with the circus and running into him again in Wolf Pen, I don't feel comfortable leaving that particular avenue to hang if possible.
[The Hunt drives Jaeger, even at his best. This is one of those times, he thinks. Plus, it's something to do, the potential for results in a world that more often than not leaves them helpless.]
no subject
That said, he is an avatar and worth noting, if not worth chasing.
Let me know if I can help.
[With the noting or the chasing.]
no subject
It might be a stretch to go on the active hunt right now, but there are things we can do in the meantime, at least. And I appreciate the offer, I'll let you know as new information comes in, possibly borrow you as a sounding board for some ideas when I have a clearer picture.
no subject
[Despite what his upbringing might have ingrained in him.]
I would be happy to do so. Finding activities to put my mind to besides learning online is something I've been craving.
no subject
We all have different skills, and any solid team covers as many areas of expertise as possible.
no subject
My skills lie in termination, as you know, as well as information extraction and intelligence. My specialty is alchemy. I am working to expand that to chemistry, but I would offer it to your use if it could help.
no subject
[He might be a bit more open to the topic of magic here, but he's still not cavalier about it. He knows the price, and is very much wary of it. Both the cost to himself, and whatever harm it might do to others.]
For right now, I think it's best to continue to observe and hope that something more telling crosses our path. While still pursuing less confrontational means of gathering.
But I always appreciate your contributions and observations, and I'll continue to pass on what information I can as I get it.
no subject
[Alchemy, at least, only required chemicals and reagents. Divination, to his mind, still required a certain amount of magic power to be accurate. Something that might or might not work here on top of whatever other consequences might be found.
But the rest makes him smile.]
I will happily follow your lead, this is your venture. Thank you.
no subject
[In spite of himself, he's smiling too. It's good to feel supported, validated, and even someone as steadfast and independent as Jaeger feels that.]
I'll keep you updated, and in the meantime I'll see you for our next sparring match.

But I’m not sure what thin object you’re after?
no subject
Oh, sorry. That's slang for "the basic information." Or you might say "give me a short summary."
no subject
[There's....a lot. And most of it lacked context that actually made sense when he found it.]
Through the combined efforts of George, Crowley, and myself, we were able to identify that Pyre is Carl Watt's son and also a likely avatar of the Desolation, previously aligned with the circus recently dismantled.
It seems Carl Watt's relation to the young man has been a very well kept secret as most didn't know he was married, much less had a child, but Crowley was able to find proof of the connection as well as evidence that a lot of relatives in Pyre's life met untimely ends while he was growing up. Jaeger said he had a history of petty arson, but none of us were able to find much else. When George and I talked to a local priest in Wolf's Pen, he said a young man matching Pyre's description had been through town asking about Watts, but seemed disappointed when the priest couldn't tell him much. Further efforts to question locals about Pyre turned up nothing.
