Are there any major world leaders or A-list celebrities of the modern era who aren't/weren't immortals? Elizabeth, Gadaffi, Freddie Mercury, Taylor Swift? And how far back in history have the so-called elites been these immortals? Napoleon, Charlemagne, Alexander, Pharaoh Scorpion?
at least ancient sumer/egypt, several groups across the fertile crescent discovered the ritual independently,
last ones to figure it out were the jews in masada, on accident, when surrounded by romans the stars aligned at just the right way and they accidentally did the right gestures and motions, so when they junped off the cliff, they didnt die, they shed off their bodies, for the first 30 minutes after shedding, they are incredibly flexible and can fit through a person's mouth and eat him from the inside, wearing him like a puppet, but after that they gotta kill themselves again
they also were the ones to disrupt any future attempts of this ritual, if u tried it after they sealed it off, it wouldnt work
the seal required foreskins to maintain, they chopped off the ones from random corpses to sustain it at first, the reason americans circumcize is to maintain the seal and prevent any new immortals
we can't know who is and who isnt nowadays because plastic surgery has gotten to the point that they can hide their indentity without switching bodies (which requires them to fake their death)
as for famous actors and musicians: not all of em are immortals, some are grown in a lab, the koreans did it first, but nowadays everyone who's internet famous and not a lolcow is a lab-made brainwashed human with a media profile
all of the ruling kings of house of windsor are the same guy, he has a heir, lets the heir reach the right time, then ritually sacrifiices him, kills his current body, and slithers inside his corpse, its all very ritualistic, going back hundreds of years
most royal families in europe had a similar tradition, except the habsburgs, who weren't in on the whole thing, they were mortal
ofc the immortals are far from unified, there are dozens of cliques who constantly plot against one another
also ea-nasir runs a network of indian scam call centers nowadays, but other than that he doesnt get involved with that mess
he stepped up from fake copper in the 5000 years that passed, he's one of the OG immortals, the council of Ur, he's why nobody does anything to shut down the call centers
he likes to swindle mortals out of their hard-earned coin, but he doesnt rly care about the money
some of the immortals want infinity migrants to use as cattle and replace people, cuz they see the free will of mortals as an obstacle, and jeets are barely sentient lumps of flesh, who are fine with owning nothing and being happy about it,
others know that this is destructive in the long-term, and know that while mortal agency is a problem, it keeps much worse problems at bay
