vs

The mysterious man, Master.

Prologue
Cadwalader was rifling through books in the library, waiting for Lloyd to show up. He hadn't had a battle yet, but he wanted to pick Lloyd's brain about what little he could remember. He turned as Lloyd walked into view, trailing James Evans and the odd guy who went by "Master".

"Lloyd! I've been wondering about your memories of teh fights."

"I've only been able to remember the fact that I was in a tent," Lloyd said. "Oh, and Cadwalader, I had an interesting new revelation on our hosts," Lloyd said, "Evnas here confirmed my observation, as did this guy. What's you're real name, anyway?"

The one who went by Master remained silent.

"Fine then, I'll just call you Billybob. So, as I was saying, Kenway and Billybob also confirmed my observation that our hosts have their own little hierarchy."

"Oh?"

"Yeah," Evans says, "There's a simple way of telling the biggest division: it's in the color of their cloaks."

"The lowest ranking have light grey ones, while..." Billybob said, trailing off. "I'm up next. I'll catch up next time."

"Anyway," Lloyd said, "The other thing about the light grey cloaks - they are all called 'Anons'. There are more of them than any other type, but there are also ways for all types to check who they are."
