A Free Stack cause célèbre: part stunt showman, part masked anarchist, host of a broadcast so far past every other pirate signal in the bay that comparing them is a category error. Half variety show, half investigative journalism, half mutual aid telethon, and he would tell you that adds to more than one on purpose.

On air he wears a full-face mask, mirrored and deliberately cracked, throwing back glitched fragments of your own face instead of his. It is not subtle and is not meant to be. It is very hard to look away from your own face doing that, which is precisely the point.

Off air — rare, and it means something when it happens — he is younger than the myth, more ordinary, quieter. The performance has a body underneath it, and almost nobody has seen it.

Interactions

Regularly invites Dread on and hands him a bigger platform, treating him as a beloved sidekick. It is his largest audience and his largest exposure risk in the same gesture.
