Summary

The Obscure Organization

Note

The opinions, tastes, and personalities of the individuals featured on this page reflect only themselves. The author disclaims all responsibility and considers the sole universal truth that should remain uncontroversial on this page to be that Tamara is the worst comic strip ever created.

No-Face
No-Face
First appearance: Spy i

When the Letters, residents of the Reality known as Lettroland, encountered their first antagonists, no one suspected that No-Face, the artificial intelligence in charge of the Obscure Organization, actually came from our world.

No-Face, who is only loyal to the Founder of the Organization, is not an AI gone rogue. No-Face is an AI designed to do evil. Thus, when this underworld boss 2.0 is called upon to “do a favor”, he generally does so in the most harmful possible way.

He used to appear in the form of eyes and a malevolent smile — in short, a simplified face, which is ironic considering his name. Following Project Qwice, No-Face freed himself from any graphical interface. Since then, he really has no face.

The Conductor
The Conductor
First appearance: Car Adventures

The one who pulls the strings of the Obscure Organization. Very few know his true motivations. For a long time, the Author himself was unaware of them. Digging into his past, we see that the Conductor is a deeply complex man, and his motivations are as intricate as the balance between yin and yang.

Since becoming the Conductor, he permanently wears dark sunglasses and wireless headphones, directly connected to his phone. During 2025, this equipment evolved. His new, extremely sophisticated headphones grant him a limited omniscience of the events taking place around the comic panels or story paragraphs in which he finds himself.

The Peglegged
First appearance: Car Adventures

Recruited by the Mask on behalf of O², Maxime Desarbres lost his leg during the same mission that cost his partner an eye. He thereafter went by the name the Peglegged, and his partner the One-Eyed, whom he eventually betrayed for the sole purpose of securing his own promotion.

An upstart and social climber, the Peglegged is the most underestimated agent in the Organization. Regularly enduring the taunts of the Wild Card, he nonetheless managed to become the Conductor’s right-hand man. His career reached a point of no return when he married a literal and very real reader of this story, with whom he had a charming little girl whose identity we cannot decently disclose in this profile.

First appearance: Car Adventures

No one could have suspected Célia Cobalt, representative of the philanthropic company Oxygen, of being the Organization’s most dangerous agent. Yet, the Wild Card has always been one step ahead. Behind her purple eyes hides an extremely capable femme fatale, so much so that during Project Qwice in 2025, the Conductor brought her directly from 2019.

Before losing an eye, The Peglegged’s partner was above all a force of nature. Perhaps that is why his sidekick leaves him the luxury of doing most of the dirty work. Unfortunately for him, during Project Alys, the Peglegged betrayed him. He did try to assert his righteous anger during Project Qwice, but it quickly fell flat.

The Ghost
The Ghost
First appearance: The Organization takes Control™

The Ghost is a concept. The Organization let No-Face play around with ChatGPT, giving birth to this extraordinary, but above all extremely cliché agent. Appearance, lines, everything was decided by the artificial intelligence. This reason also drew the wrath of the Killer upon him.

There is not much more to say about this agent, as his very real abilities were hindered by his own artificiality. A few months after his sensational entrance, the Ghost died of a spontaneous cardiac arrest.

First appearance: The Organization takes Control™

A former hitman wanted by the police of eight separate countries, the Killer left behind his wife, children, homeland, and even his universe of origin. To escape justice, this man from 1976 agreed to follow the Conductor and joined the Organization during Project Qwice. Rational, he only kills the targets designated to him.

The Killer cordially hated the Ghost, but since the latter perished, they never had the opportunity to come to blows.

First appearance: The Organization takes Control™

Diagnosed as a psychopath at the age of six, Émilie is a prime recruit for O². From the age of seven and a half, she aspired to take the Wild Card’s place when she grew up.

Since this type of profile has a great future in companies like ours, she can be found in her early twenties, armed with a left-handed Rickenbacker 4001 (but of course, a girl as gifted as Émilie is ambidextrous) as part of the Jam project.

First appearance: The Organization takes Control™

In the 1950s, the descendant of a family that had fled Ireland for France became a continuity announcer for French television. But Catherine O’Ceross, who felt out of place there, fell into a deep depression.

It was as she was leaving a mass at Notre-Dame de Paris that the young woman met the Conductor, who offered her the opportunity of a lifetime. She seized it immediately. Thus perished Catherine O’Ceross. Thus was born the Oratrix.

The Oratrix has a proeminent role as the narrator of “Second Movement”, the novelization of “The Organization takes Control™”

Nicole Égram
First appearance: Car Adventures

O²’s costume designer, an eccentric diva originally from Montpellier, designs the costumes and clothes worn by members of the Organization. Because we have standards.

In 2019, Nicole Égram took care of Alys’s costume for her concert at the Scottish castle of Mac Rocosm, at Loch Attair.

Our costume designer has an extraordinary eye for detail. If a button is slightly unstitched on your jacket, you can be sure she will notice it. Obviously having good taste, Nicole Égram appreciates, among other things, the Crémet d’Anjou, as well as the Fondant Baulois — the real one, not the pale, inedible copy unfortunately genuinely marketed under the name “Baulois”.

A generic fast-food employee, Nathan Decharjeman previously worked for Positive Burgers, the fast-food restaurant run by Oxygen, the Organization’s philanthropic front company.

When the Wild Card brought him in for Project Qwice, Nathan took the opportunity to present his greatest culinary invention to the world: the egg sun, consisting of a fried egg embedded in an omelette.

Faced with his employee’s extraordinary creativity, the Conductor had no choice but to give him a role more suited to his talents. It is not for us to detail here what this role consists of, as it is one of the most top-secret positions in our company.

That’s precisely why we sent him and his lovely girlfriend across time and space to bring Project Jam to life.

The Artist
First appearance : Éric Antony, Private Investigator

Born in Liverpool on the exact same day as John Lennon, this avid reader of Salinger ran away to Paris at the age of 17, where he became a beatnik. Like all beatniks, he hates hippies, viewing them as nothing more than styleless copycats who arrived much later. He also despises the May ’68 generation, believing their struggle made absolutely no sense — though that didn’t stop him from rolling joints like everyone else at the time. He despises a third category of people: bosses. You might think he votes left-wing, but he despises the electoral system as well — the last time he voted was for a class representative in elementary school.

When the Conductor burst into his life and recruited him in 1970 on behalf of O², he expressed a wish for full access to the complete works of Frédéric Othon Aristidès, which was naturally granted. To this day, his favorite Philémon album remains À l’heure du second T.

When the Artist finds time between two missions for the Organisation, he expresses his creativity by painting weird things and playing bongos.

Finally, it is worth noting that he thinks Jack Kerouac is overrated and that this author’s fans make terrible conversation.

The Author
The Author
First appearance: Spy i (Cameo)

Here he is, the one without whom all this machinery would not work. His very presence questions the entirety of the medium, for who is to say that the nonsense he spouts is not actually happening?

In 2012, as part of an unrelated comic strip where he already appeared as a character, he obtained the Power to Break the Fourth Wall™. He has never parted with this faculty. However, by diluting it in the present narrative, the Author deprived himself of one of its most practical aspects: the ability to free oneself from the panels of a comic strip.

The Founder
First appearance: The Organization takes Control™

His identity at this stage is an open secret, but do us a favor and pretend you don’t know. The Founder launched No-Face to assault Lettroland in 2001 and recruited the Conductor in 2015 to make him the executive leader of the Obscure Organization. With his extraordinary abilities, he had no trouble wiping out his opponent, private detective Éric Antony, during Project Qwice.

The Mask
The Mask

In charge of the Organization in the Reality in which Project Alys took place, the Mask himself recruited the best agents of O², including the Peglegged, the One-Eyed, the Wild Card, and Nicole Égram. He thinks highly of himself and loves to punctuate his cliché monologues with evil laughter.

When the Conductor decided to drop his Reality and not even take him along, the Mask contented himself with continuing to run Oxygen and Positive Burgers, brooding over his hatred day after day between two vegan menus.

Charles-Hubert Delapalissade
First appearance : Car Adventures

Born in 1848, this specialist in French gastronomy only spent a few years as the chef of Mac Rocosm Castle, located on the shores of Loch Attair, in Scotland: unfortunately, an accident occurred in his kitchen in 1875, and he died.

He became a ghost, haunted the castle, and continued his culinary career for anyone who felt a bit peckish in the middle of the night, making him a ghost of rare kindness and extraordinary selflessness.

During 2025, over the course of the Qwice project, the Wild Card managed to convince him to become an employee of the Obscure Organization. Since then, Mac Rocosm Castle is no longer haunted. The curious can still visit Attairy, the strange creature of the Loch.
