Who Is the Walrus?
Every organisation has someone at the top, and the Commonwealth is no different.
The Walrus leads the Commonwealth and stands above every other member of the Circle. He owns the Estate where the organisation meets, and every major decision begins and ends with him. Although each head controls a different part of the Commonwealth, they all answer to the Walrus.
However, his position doesn’t come from fear alone. Instead, he earns respect through intelligence, experience and complete authority. He never needs to raise his voice because everyone already knows his judgement is final.
A Gentleman to the Public
To the outside world, the Walrus appears to be the perfect gentleman. He donates to hospitals, funds charities, supports businesses and helps shape the nation’s economy. As a result, politicians, bankers and newspapers admire him, while ordinary people see him as one of the country’s greatest businessmen.
Because of that reputation, almost nobody questions his influence. Instead, people thank him for his generosity and celebrate his success. They never suspect that another side exists behind the walls of the Estate.
The Man Behind the Commonwealth
Behind closed doors, the Walrus leads one of the most powerful organisations in the country.
The Commonwealth controls banks, factories, shipping companies, distilleries and countless other businesses. In addition, it reaches into politics, finance and many darker affairs that never appear in public. Every member of the Circle has an important role, yet the Walrus remains the man who guides the organisation and settles every major decision.
Unlike the Frog, who maintains order through intimidation, the Walrus rarely shows anger. Instead, he stays calm, speaks politely and lets others carry out the work that keeps the Commonwealth in power. Consequently, he never has to threaten anyone himself.
His Philosophy
The Walrus believes that society needs order above everything else. He sees the Commonwealth as the force that protects stability, even when that stability demands harsh decisions. Therefore, he doesn’t view himself as a criminal. He believes he is protecting civilisation from chaos.
Whether the Commonwealth rewards loyalty or removes those who threaten its rule, the Walrus sees every action as necessary. In his eyes, order always comes before individual lives.
This Is Only the Beginning
The Walrus is the first leader of the Commonwealth to step into the spotlight. Over time, more members of the Circle will appear, and each one will reveal another part of the organisation’s power. Together, they form one of the wealthiest, most influential and most dangerous groups ever imagined.
