Observers

An organization of criminals, information collectors, and whistle-blowers. Believe that it is their "duty" to promote a free-information sharing society as a form to counter the Wire.

Structure

The Observers are rather decentralized, this is intentional to preserve the safety and operational security of the organization. There is the Librarian and a council of Keepers that governor the "cells" that make up the organization. An individual member is called an Observer and these guys make up the general makeup of the Observers.
Next are the Brokers, then the Speakers, and finally the Collectors. These are the members that deal with the acquisition, sale, and releasing of information to the public or private groups.

Public Agenda

The destruction of Firewall, the free flow of information, and the end of censorship.

Assets

Massive communication hacking program (the Apparatus), spies within the Wire, and significant public support.

History

The group splintered off from the Wire a long time ago, likely due to disenfranchisement and disgust at the Wire.

Demography and Population

No one knows who the Librarian is, who makes up the council, or how many members make up the Observers. Firewall speculates as little as ~100 to as many as ~1,000.
