Known Voxes[]
| Time Period | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 2018 - 2022 (present) | Pete Conlan | The current Vox Phantasma. He is the first Vox Phantasma to occupy New York at the same time as a Vox Populi. He was a drug dealer struggling with addiction and now works at Uncommon Knowledge as part of his journey to recovery. |
| Sometime in the 1980s (three days total) | Heather Simos | Wife of Tony Simos. A very Cindi Lauper-esque personality and a spirit of wild impulsive curiosity. She travelled out into the deeper Dreaming, filled with wonder about the possibilities of dreams, to make more, when she met Null. She shook the hand of its suited-figure angler fish lantern and disappeared. |
| 1920 - 1929 | Josefina Gatsby | A wealthy heiress and the last Vox Phantasma before Pete. Misty Moore describes her as "fabulous" and "fun" and says she threw the most amazing parties, though she struggled with both loneliness and addiction. Resigned to the seemingly inevitable fate that awaited her at the hands of what is now known as Null, she disappeared into the depths of the dream world. |
| 1870s - 1880s | Emma Lazarus | An American poet and powerful Vox. She wrote The New Colossus that can be found at the Statue of Liberty. |
| 1775 - 1783 | Hans Fischer | An old-New York dilettante and former German mercenary. Also disappeared into the depths of the dream world, but his expedition was planned and one of exploration. |
Trivia[]
- Brennan believes that each of the Voxes that were released from Null are psychically linked to the other two through dreams but across time.[1]
- Brennan also believes that the Voxes of the past able to leave physical objects and clues in the Waking World for the Voxes yet to come, and the Voxes of the future reaching out in dreams to give warnings of things yet to come, their messages often warped or distorted by the vast stretches of time between them. Brennan believes that this is a timeline that's running concurrently to TUC-Prime, not changing its past but is reachable through the Sixth Borough.[2]
