2017: Kelsey

Important Notes
-Knows Mara per a conversation with Athena -Refuses to give away identity which is causing wide speculation of who he actually is.
 * Claims that Mara is a dangerous person.

-Seems to believe that warding Mara off can be done by lighting a candle.

-Relates himself to chess pieces(?)

-Was seen at Whitsett Park (Stratagem) and revealed that Mara was in fact a dangerous being.

-Wants to help us out by reversing all the mess that we made.
 * Update: he didn't actually help us.  The ritual was either apophenia or it solidified Mara's ownership with Slack.

-He has direct connections with The Queen.

-Has a weird user handle on Slack: zvvxvlrzjz (some professors believe this is a simple substitution cipher for "annunciata"

-Does way more powerful rituals than we thought.

Theories
The Stranger refuses to give away identity which is causing wide speculation of who he actually is. Current theories:
 * He's a nameless agent of The Queen. The Stranger had the Queen's mask in a briefcase during Athena's first meet with The Stranger.
 * The Stranger is Caliban. (The Stranger had Caliban's whip, Caliban had the Queen's Mask in Catagmatic, The Stranger had our photos on 2.23)
 * Other theory: The Stranger is a piece of Caliban
 * The Stranger is Oberon.
 * The Stranger is Theseus.
 * The Stranger is actually Thaddeus.
 * The Stranger (along with Mara) are parts of Caliban's personalities.
 * Or some combined mixture of the above.

The Stranger doesn't seem to like Mara, why?
 * Mara is giving chess pieces out slowly. Will the completion of the chess pieces (something that The Stranger relates to) reveal information about the Stranger that he doesn't want to be for public consumption?

The Candles given to several participants....
 * Will this become relevant later specifically dealing with Mara?
