Oh, so Kevin’s still kicking after all? Or is the leader someone like Jackal lmao?

What are the politics like between the three factions then? Or two, if Shicksal wasn’t run by Otto and thus wouldn’t trigger the war crimes that lead to Anti-Entropy being made?

Kevin is very much dead. Taking in the power of Finality was destroying him, considering how unstable his chimera of MANTIS genetics already was. No, Kevin was on death row in the Moon arc. Whether Kiana stopped him or not, it’s unlikely he would outlive Project STIGMA.

The politics of the three factions are still under construction. You’re right that Otto isn’t around anymore, and that is cause for changes. But Schicksal was already prone to corruption even without him, given incidents like them crusading against the Immortal Celestial (Fu Hua) and subsequently getting their asses beat.

There is still reason for Anti-Entropy to rise, not just because of stuff like that but because it’s possible some of their members could have survived Finality and laid the groundwork for a revival. Besides which, Anti-Entropy were hardly complete angels either.

World Serpent is a similar deal, but with Kevin gone, the throne is open for another of the 13 to take it. And Jackal definitely wouldn’t win out when it comes to a potential leader over a Griseo that’s got a solid 100,000 years behind her at this point (to be fair, some of that was probably hibernated, but you get the gist). Griseo has learned how to be… independent, let’s say.

Fire Moth, meanwhile, is a much different entity than it originally was several Eras past, but it’s also got some similarities. Mainly, it serves as the way the various big names collaborate relatively peacefully through contributing their own representatives to both its membership and leadership. And the whole shebang is overseen by entities like the United Nations, which increases their global trust and ability to travel and act just about anywhere legally without jumping through hoops.
