[SPOILER] Plot Discussion Thread *Spoiler Alert*

Wait a gosh-darn minute....

How is Mandus not marked by the shadow if he touched the orb?(And to some extent, abusing it's power?)

Also, how much do we know about the engineer? I can only remember one reference to him, and that's a conversation between the professor and Mandus, where the Engineer is fully on-board and "has seen the evils of society" to heavily paraphrase? I'm assuming he's the guy who designed the machine?

The Shadow is the mysterious guardian of the Orbs, hunting down and killing anyone unable to fully take control of the Orb


So, obviously, Mandus is able to fully take control.
