A Lack of Response

After getting short responses that lack information from my Uncle upon the topic of the origin of the Ⓧperator Symbol, I've decided to try and do some research of my own. 

Here's What I've Found:

Rune of Severance 

• The continuous theory is that the symbol configures itself to the belief of the who uses it. Be it to summon or to ward. It has also been thought to control a certain person or object. (Much like the Rune of Severance)

• The meaning of the symbol itself is also controversial. No one is completely sure whether it represents the one redeeming feature of The Ⓧperator, that being his lack of facial features, or something else entirely.                                                                    



Operator Symbol

• The symbol has had past uses throughout history. Many times it was used to mark areas of sickness, insanity, or danger. Its resemblance to the still used mark, the skull & crossbones, may have some significance. I'm not entirely sure yet. 

As for our own symbol,

• I feel that it may be something entirely new. A means to ward and summon, like the Ⓧperator symbol. But also a way for watching... for controlling.
• Visually, it looks like a mix of the well known Ⓧperator symbol and the less known Rune of Severance. The crossed eye shapes, referring to the rune. The center of our symbol being the Ⓧperator symbol itself. The arrows from each side may refer to something like "He sees all". The arrows portraying the line of sight of the Ⓧperator. Since symbols come from all four of the cardinal direction, we can only assume he means that he does see all. 
• Another less known fact is that this may be just another version of the many symbols correlated with the Ⓧperator. 

I'll be looking into the history of runes and symbols this summer. 

I Feel that this will be an ongoing investigation.
