Report: IBE-09 "Man of the Mountain"

Event report

The Man of the Mountain is assumed to be a shifted human between the ages of 20-30. Appeared to be caucasian, with a brown or dark blond beard. He kept himself wrapped in a thick quilt and wore a dark hat that resembled a toque that came to a peak over his head. 

He was found August 3rd 2019 wandering through the Contemporary Offices, picking up objects and inspecting them carefully like he had never seen them before. He kept a grip on the blanket like a large poncho and carelessly knocked things off desks with it. A desk worker, Weston Philips, was the first to spot and confront him. Weston recounted that he asked the stranger who he was, and if he had clearance. According to him, the man turned and wrapped himself tightly before replying with a strange cadence. Upon later examination it was determined that he spoke in rough meter, sentences of 8 syllables each.

"I be the Man of the Mountain.
I mean not to cause any frighten
From where I come and whence I go
The Twisted One brings me safety"

When Weston tried to call security form a phone on a nearby desk the "Man of the Mountain" rummaged through another and pulled out paperclips assembling them in a strange formation. All the while he hummed and occasionally broke out into chant in an unknown language. When he saw security he jumped on the desk and vaulted the cubicle into the next then bolted down the hall. When he reached the exit door he stopped and screamed again.

"This now is just the beginning
I am not the first nor the last
One year hence there shall be a breach
Through which tales from everywhere come"

He then kicked open the door and fled down the stairwell. The building was swept but he was never found or caught. There was no further evidence of this person. We've had the Prophecy Division and Occult divisions look into his statements. See the collated Unknown for more information on their research. Attached is a sketch one of the workers did from memory of the Man of the Mountain. Without the outfit the sketch looks too generic to give any clues to their identity.
