<< Taking the Old Timer hex into accout, I can see a cabal of ancient
hucksters sticking together
 through it all, watching each others' backs of course, since they still can
die.  They could be
 thrown on either side of the big battle of good and evil, Marshall's whim.
They may even
 occasionally take on an apprentice, if he proves worthy to them.  They'd
definitely be very secret,
 since anyone with that much power immediately gets a big red crosshairs
birthmark on their
 forehead...

  The cabal would be fairly secret, but the members don't really have to be.
While you wouldn't want the world to know your exactly connected to the
hucksters of yon past, a group of citizens may just assume your some strange
type of doomsayer or syker.  The biggest reason that we can define the
difference between the Arcanes is because we can see the rules, the NPC's may
be familiar or unfamiliar with the differences between a
Huckster/blessed/templar ect.  If a good huckster can convince the people in a
town that he represents the "forces of good", and can prove it in some manner,
the people will not usually argue.  Also, if they are that old, they should
have learned a good amount of sleight o' hand...
