I should start by say "hello" to those who have not 'met' me yet. I should have placed my previous posts in this section, but oh well. They can be found first in the GM Discussion erea and second in the Secret History area to get an idea of where my campaign is going.
I came across some material that is not strictly cannon that called out to the creative part of my Shadowrun id. (ID if it's supposed to be capitalized.) It involves the founder of the Illuminate of the New Dawn, Rozilyn Hernandez. Having been educated in parochial schools I am familiar with the Sylvestrines. I looked up the Black Lodge and from what I understand the Knights Templar, Bavarian Illuminati and the Freemasons are some of it's organisations.
My question has to do with some comments that were allegedly made on Jack Point or another of the ubiquitous semi secret runner sites. They refer to Rozilyn Hernandez:
> There are a half-dozen Sylvestrines, all professors at Georgetown or CUA, who are all in the IOND Inner Circle. There is a theory that she was already in the Black Lodge, but she “came to God” and eventually founded the IOND in response. Another takes that one step further and asserts that she was “deprogrammed” by the Templars. This is the best part. She was the face of the IOND, and recruited other Lodge members, but those Sylvestrines (Templars) control it behind the the scenes.

> New Jesuits agents don’t get to just quit.
> Fianchetto
> Here’s a thought. She’s another one of those politicos nostalgic for the old USA, rules an international order of politically connected mages, and her old running mate is the damn Yankee carpetbagger who weaseled his way into the Manor House. There’s your New Revolution ringleader. I normally don’t mess with politicos, but I could make an exception in this case.

> Riser
Actually I have a couple questions, I did not see a reference to these "New Jesuits" in my research of the Black Lodge, but I do know who and what they are ( Papal clean-up squads if it all gets boiled down, plus or minus) . So what is Fianchetto talking about?
And who is the carpetbagger Kane is talking about with his New Revolution? Colloton?
My story-line involves the characters saving Mrs. Hernandez from certain death thus earning themselves a solid Mrs. Johnson slash mentor. I have three or four groups in mind that might have done the 'hit' on Hernandez. I just want all the info I can get so I make an informed decision on the actual shooter. I am currently researching Pistons, Fianchetto, Kane and Riser to see if I can use them.
