Envoy

Envoys are shepherds of the souls of the dead. They appear after someone dies to lead their soul from the mortal lands to the Mists.

While Envoys have immense power, they cannot directly manipulate the physical realm. If they desire to change the mortal realm, they must inhabit constructs or use mortals as the agents of their plans. Envoys also have the power to use the souls of the dead entrusted to their care in making new constructs. Lastly, Envoys can interact with spirit beings directly.

It is strongly hinted that Envoys are solitary entities, never naturally allying with other Envoys. However, some of the Envoys have allied together to stop Shiro Tagachi from destroying the universe.

The apparitions of some Envoys appear at several key points in the Factions storyline to guide the players.
