In the Beginning . . . the Geezer!

Our story begins with the evil geezer,
who just so happens to be the prime mover behind world events,
the central actor in a conspiracy within which all others are subsumed.
The geezer clawed his way to the pinnacle of power
more than 200 years ago,
as freemason, illuminatus,
and templar he conquered the organizations
that pulled the strings of power.
Unfortunately for the geezer,
who was then known by other names,
this climb to the top had taken up the time
normally alotted to any mere mortal.
He had in fact become a geezer,
and of course was quite evil,
hence the name of evil geezer
would be his forever more.
