The Occult Security and Investigation Commission is a black box government organization that makes the CIA look transparent. It falls on the men, women, and entities of the OSIC to keep the country safe from sinister forces that are beyond the capabilities of local law enforcement.

As a member of the notorious Sandman Division, Haze is routinely tasked with infiltrating the dreams of persons of interest, to assess their threat level, and if needed... to put them to sleep.

Overview

Haze is fighting in the ritual on behalf of the OSIC.[1][2] Her wish is unknown, although the Patrons tempt her to wish herself a new life.[3][4][5]

Biography

Haze works for the OSIC because she "loves her country".[6] She acknowledges that the OSIC is flawed, but in her eyes the ends justify the means.[7] She is extremely loyal to her superiors and her job,[8][9][10] although it's implied that she doesn't love being a Sandman.[11][12]

Haze has prepared extensively for the ritual by performing drills, research, stretching, divination, and fortune telling.[13]
