The more this thread progresses the more I'm reminded of the Bartimaeus trilogy.
Roko is essentially a toned-down djinni - not the "grants three wishes" type popularized by Aladdin and his Wonderful Lamp. These djinni are alien spirits, summoned to be slaves to magicians. But they have a key weakness: They must assume a physical form on the material plane, and the longer they are away from their home, The Other Place, the more their essence - their mana - leaks out. They can replenish it by eating other spirits (and humans, too), but eventually, they must return. And in the Other Place, all spirits are as one being.
Roko is like a djinni in that he's a mid-powered spirit, that has spent far too long in an imperfect vessel. He lives by cunning and intelligence. Suzocon-sama is more like a marid - a much higher class of spirit with as much intelligence and cunning as a djinni but far more power. The power to stomp a djinni flat and eat the pancake with zero effort. But Suzocon-sama is on the material plane for some specific reason, and I get the idea that reason is about to be revealed.
As for Suzocon-sama, I'm sticking by my guns. That one's given me the creeps for 100 pages now, and that hasn't changed one bit with this secret lair business.

Hmmm. Since they first appeared I assumed the Reapers was just some version of Death that forced a spirit into the afterlife. But the way Suzocon is talking about Roko's mana leaking, I guess it dissipates over time. Now I'm wondering if the Reapers' purpose is to break up a fresh consciousness that has mana upon death, i.e a ghost, to get it back into the cosmic ecosystem or something faster than the ghost would normally would dissipate without them.
