Editing Genius The Transgression/Chapter Three:Systems and Foundations (section)

===Members:===
Inspired who join the Manifest Fellowship are interested in power. Not all are interested in accruing it, however: while there are many sharks and ladder-climbers among the Overlords, others are interested in power as a concept: how it moves, how it flows, how it relates to money, to charisma, to talent. They want to know how power can be organized, and they want to explore the many subtle forms that control can take. Geniuses who join this foundation often hail from wealth and privilege: before their catalysts, they were power-brokers, high-profile lawyers, wealthy entrepreneurs, or political administrators. Others came from fields interested in the study, not the acquisition of power and prestige: sociologists, policy analysts, and stock forecasters. Still other members of the foundation started with nothing, catalyzed, and now see a bright, wealthy future for themselves in this foundation.

Though not all Directors are wealthy, all understand that wealth does not equate directly with authority, and authority is what interests a director. They dress and act to demonstrate their authority in whatever society they find themselves. Some are obsessive about being the center of attention, while others use their talents to blend in and control an organization from within. However they approach issues like power and authority, however, geniuses who become Directors possess an almost intuitive ability to gain and hold power.

Directors can catalyze in almost any way, though few are motivated by sorrow and loss. Those more interested in the process and theory of power are Staunens, while ambitious Hoffnungs, bitter Neids, and even righteous Grimms are common among those Directors who see power in more practical terms.
