The Messenger
Kyoren emerged in 2025 as the first and only verified intermediary between the vanished legend DEVIL and the outside world. Their sudden appearance marked the first confirmed contact with the enigmatic figure since their 2022 disappearance.
- Kyoren's final transmission
What makes Kyoren significant isn't technical skill or operational leadership, but their unique position as DEVIL's chosen conduit. Their communications demonstrated intimate knowledge of EDX systems and DEVIL's current capabilities, suggesting either direct access or being DEVIL's first trusted contact in years.
Nationality
German (based on linguistic analysis)
First Contact
May 5, 2025 (verified)
Connection Vector
Likely through Tyrant Softwares
Status
Active (last seen May 2025)
The 2025 Contact
Kyoren's emergence provided the first concrete evidence that DEVIL still maintained operational awareness and capabilities years after vanishing:
Initial Outreach
Contacted our investigator unexpectedly, demonstrating detailed knowledge of their activities. Presented credentials through undisputed EDX authentication methods.
Verification
Provided screenshot from the EDX Legacy Terminal (EDXLT) showing active DEVIL credentials - the first verifiable proof of DEVIL's continued system access.
The Warning
Delivered DEVIL's message demonstrating complete awareness of investigation activities, including personal details about the investigator.
The Ultimatum
Relayed DEVIL's position: "There's no chance they are returning," with threats of digital retaliation if investigations continued.
Kyoren's communication style revealed several key characteristics:
- Formal but not overly technical language
- Clear German linguistic influences in syntax
- No prior experience as an intermediary (based on hesitation patterns)
- Willingness to negotiate terms rather than immediate threats
The Connection
Kyoren's relationship to DEVIL remains mysterious, but several plausible theories exist:
Possible Connection Vectors
- Tyrant Softwares Link: Most likely connection point. The EDX TikTok's rebranding to "Tyrant Softwares" may indicate DEVIL's new venture, with Kyoren as staff.
- Personal Trust: Kyoren may have earned DEVIL's confidence through unrelated means, becoming their first trusted contact in years.
- Operational Necessity: Kyoren might possess unique skills or position making them the only viable messenger for DEVIL's current situation.
- Legacy Contact: Could be connected to someone from EDX/NNN's High Command, maintaining dormant ties that were recently activated.
Knowledge Level
Demonstrated understanding of EDX systems but not operational details
Communication Style
More diplomatic than technical, suggesting non-operational role
Access Level
Capable of retrieving EDXLT screenshots but not initiating actions
Kyoren's hesitation and negotiation during communications suggest they were either:
- Newly recruited for this specific task
- Operating outside their normal area of expertise
- Personally conflicted about their role
The Straw Page Clues
Analysis of Kyoren's straw.page reveals subtle but important insights (note: this information is not publicly displayed on the Pantheon Project):
Technical Background
Profile suggests intermediate technical skills but not at DEVIL's elite level. More aligned with general IT than specialized Discord exploitation.
German Origins
Language patterns, references, and metadata confirm German nationality, explaining some syntactic quirks in communications.
Recent Activity
Behavioral patterns suggest recent (within months) initiation into DEVIL's circle, with no prior history in Discord's underground.
This analysis suggests Kyoren is likely a legitimate professional (possibly in software/IT) who recently crossed paths with DEVIL through Tyrant Softwares or similar venture, rather than a longtime member of Discord's underground.
Theories of Association
Five Plausible Scenarios
- The Colleague Theory: Kyoren works with DEVIL at Tyrant Softwares, unaware of their history until recently recruited as messenger.
- The Recruit Theory: DEVIL identified Kyoren's specific skills (language, demeanor) as ideal for controlled communications.
- The Shield Theory: Kyoren is deliberately uninvolved to serve as a cutout - knowing just enough to relay messages but not enough to compromise DEVIL.
- The Transition Theory: Kyoren may be DEVIL's successor in training, learning the ropes from the master before taking over operations.
- The False Front Theory: Kyoren could be DEVIL themselves, creating a new persona to control communications while maintaining distance.
The most plausible scenario is Kyoren being a recent professional contact DEVIL trusted enough for this specific task, but without deeper involvement in historical operations. Their German background, technical-but-not-elite skillset, and communication style all support this.
The Future Implications
Kyoren's emergence suggests several critical developments in the DEVIL saga:
Continued Monitoring
DEVIL maintains awareness of investigation efforts
System Access
Retains control over EDX infrastructure after 3 years
New Alliances
Has established trusted contacts outside original networks
Kyoren represents both a breakthrough and dead end in DEVIL research:
- First verified contact in years proves DEVIL's continued existence
- But establishes DEVIL's capability to communicate through cutouts when desired
- Suggests DEVIL may be transitioning to legitimate ventures (Tyrant Softwares)
- Demonstrates ongoing operational security even when reaching out
Analyst Note: Kyoren's existence suggests DEVIL may be building something new - whether Tyrant Softwares or another venture. Their willingness to break silence after years indicates shifting priorities, possibly marking the beginning of a new chapter in this saga.
The Messenger's Legacy
Regardless of their future role, Kyoren has already secured a place in Discord's history by:
Verification
Providing first proof of DEVIL's post-2022 existence
Access
Demonstrating DEVIL's continued EDX system control
Transition
Marking DEVIL's potential shift to legitimate operations
Kyoren may represent the bridge between eras - connecting DEVIL's legendary past with whatever comes next. Their appearance after years of silence suggests DEVIL remains capable of carefully choosing who enters their orbit, and for what purpose.
Whether Kyoren's role expands or this remains their sole appearance, they've already altered the DEVIL narrative forever - proving the legend still watches, still controls, and still chooses precisely when and how to make their presence known.
