Black Signal

"Sssssssssssssssssssssssssssss-I am the pirate signal-let me in. Hiya Chuck. Pleased to meet you. I'm the message. I'm John. Nothing fancy. I want to get to know you-you-you."

- The Black Signal AKA John The Black Signal is a major antagonist in the 2012 MMORPG ''The Secret World. ''First introduced in Issue #9 of the downloadable expansion packs, he serves as the voice of the Dreamers on Earth and a powerful manifestation of the Filth: he is essentially a villainous counterpart to the Bees that serve as Gaia's voice - even communicating with the players through similar lore entries, though he has a habit of calling them "Chuck," for some reason. Over the course of the Tokyo arc, the Black Signal watches the players' movements across Tokyo, always attempting to convert them to the cause of the Dreamers, waiting patiently for the right moment to strike.
