After an incident involving "[[Babewyin|grotesques]]", Burton is recruited by Faction Paradox (possibly being recruited by his own, future self). Due to Burton's excellence at blending into foreign cultures, he begins to climb the ranks of Faction Paradox. This record is marred by an incident in [[1845]] where Burton accidentally reveals his knowledge of the occult to the Star Chamber. He later makes an expedition into [[Africa]], ostensibly to find the source of the [[Nile]] but actually to find the [[Mountains of the Moon]], home to a colony of Mal'akh. This expedition is the source of Burton's feud with Speke and ultimately leads to Speke's death at the hands of [[Lord Byron]] (whom Burton begins a feud with). | After an incident involving "[[Babewyin|grotesques]]", Burton is recruited by Faction Paradox (possibly being recruited by his own, future self).
