Imperial Bestiary
The Handwriting in the Reports
The Bestiary is a trace archive: report labels, operational habits, and recurring signatures. It is not a seven-person villain lineup, a biological species list, or a power ranking.
Read the handwriting before the hand is named.

No villain lineup.
The Atlas uses reports, maps, objects, damage patterns, and redacted relation lines—not seven full-body portraits arranged as a team.
