The Seeker

Seekers are explorers of modern, ancient, and forgotten urban myths. They are bloggers, hackers, and storytellers of the Modern Age. On the Internet, faceless voices whisper of lies and conspiracies. In abandoned subway stations, someone leaves messages in seemingly meaningless graffiti. If you dig deep enough you’ll find the Truth, but most of us cannot see through the thick fog of misinformation, and we become hopelessly lost in the tempest of propaganda, pornography, and mindless entertainment. The Seeker knows how to use the Internet to uncover secrets under stones best left unturned. For the Seeker, no price is too great to find the Truth and expose it for public consumption.
