Dream Eaters

"Sitting atop an immense pillar of stone, six figures were engaged in conversation. They spoke in hushed voices, casually discussing strange concepts foreign to Euclid. With their hoods down, each of their faces were unique, though they were all dressed identically. The seventh figure was not listening."

- Narration, "In Somnis Veritas"

The Dream Eaters are a group capable of manipulating dreams that originate from Midgarde.

Background
The Dream Eaters is a group that was created by Xanvi. The name of the group is derived from "The Dream Eater," the being that had trained Xanvi and granted him his abilities. Near the end of his life, The Dream Eater had granted Xanvi one of his eyes, allowing him to develop the ability to travel across dimensions. Xanvi was responsible for finding most of the current Dream Eaters, each from a different world.

The Dream Eaters are notorious inter-dimensional terrorists. As dimensional travel is a taboo of The Powers that Be, the deity Iblis ravaged the population of Midgarde as punishment for the actions of the Dream Eaters.

Abilities
Though every Dream Eater has a specific and specialized ability, all Dream Eaters are capable of traversing between dimensions and entering the dreams of other people. By entering the dreams of another person, the Dream Eaters are capable of influencing a person’s thoughts or decisions.

In addition to influencing thoughts and actions, the Dream Eaters’ ability to enter dreams allows them to bridge between worlds. By linking together the dreams of people from another dimension, the Dream Eaters have a means to travel to that dimension. This ability has adverse effects on the sanity of those whose dreams were selected.

Once a world has been bridged, the Dream Eaters can enter and exit it as they please. When the group travels to a different dimension, it appears that they are able to do it instantaneously. However, in order to perform this travel, the Dream Eaters must traverse complex systems of dark corridors that take several hours to complete.

Season One
Through the capabilities of Samuel Brownlee's dream sharing device, the Dream Eaters were able to arrive at Euclid. After some conversation on a large stone pillar, they manifested themselves before the protagonists as they were dreaming. The device had chained the consciousness of the protagonists together, creating a path for the Dream Eaters to travel to Euclid from Midgarde. Though the device was supposed to separate the dreams of Atticus Anoethite and Melissa Devlin, the Dream Eaters were able to connect the two dreams together.

Accompanying the Dream Eaters was the demon Ronin, a minor general of Kaz. The Dream Eaters had a mutual relationship with Rodin, with the general providing them protection and them providing him a means to enter Euclid freely.

Xanvi approached Atticus and thanked him, as Atticus’ inability to remain lucid in the dream was one of the factors that allowed the Dream Eaters to arrive at Euclid. After Xanvi had finished his conversation with Atticus, the Dream Eaters left the dream. After the protagonists had woke up from their dream, they were met by who seemed to be Alchemilia operative John Fontaine. This, however, was not the real Alchemilia operative. Fontaine had already been killed by Gabriel Alchemilia in the Silivian Masquerade Hospital; Xanvi was using a copy of his body. In the Laboratory of the Mind, Xanvi explained to everyone that Alchemilia Corporation was responsible for the death of their friend Savannah. They initially distrusted him, but the Dream Eater revealed a photograph of her dead body.

Everyone later left the room to go downstairs, but Atticus stayed back to have a talk with Blossom Cane about her odd behavior towards him. Atticus believed he was having a contentious argument with the girl - one where he psychically assaulted her -, but a blink of his eyes later in their talk made it appear that the argument never happened. This vision was the product of the Dream Eaters, who would be responsible for many more of Atticus’ visions later on.

Once everyone arrived downstairs, Xanvi was speaking of Remnant Rock when Atticus had another Dream Eater-induced vision. The world around Atticus had changed into a mirror-like surface, and the appearance of those around him shifted into the appearance of the Dream Eaters. Within this vision, Xanvi asked Atticus to join him. At the table, Xanvi began laying out "Operation: Primo Victoria," a plan for the destruction of Alchemilia Corporation. He attempted to bring the protagonists to his side, using the death of Savannah as a reason to join him. After some talk amongst themselves, all of the protagonists agreed to the operation.
 * "Risky Decisions"

Bringing Alchemilia to justice was not the true purpose of the operation, however. Through Primo Victoria, Xanvi and the others hoped the end of the Corporation would destabilize Euclid.

Samuel Brownlee left the discussion to have a dream through The Contraption, hoping to understand the events of the previous night. Unfortunately for him, however, the Dream Eater Yaakov appeared before him. Thanking him for allowing the Dream Eaters to enter Euclid, Yaakov quickly collapsed the man’s dream. As Samuel’s body attempted to awake, Xanvi stabbed him in his throat. The body of Samuel was now possessed by Yaakov. After three months of training, Xanvi eventually launched Primo Victoria. He created a Team A and B, one to enter Remnant Rock’s tunnels and one to storm it from the bridge.
 * "Primo Victoria" to "Primo Victoria: Part II"

The operation went without incident, mostly. Xanvi went with Atticus and Marshall Rooke through the facility’s underground tunnels, but the Dream Eater eventually disappeared to activate bombs planted throughout the base.

Yaakov, as Samuel, went with Team B. Though the Team ended up being arrested by the general Nabi, they fulfilled one of the operation’s goals and incited a prison riot. Yaakov only had to use his abilities as a Dream Eater once, causing a guard to kill himself and his companion to free Chris Wellington.

After the operation, Yaakov delivered a packaged color-changing fluid to Ronin.
