Van Mantra
Mantra, the only character so far that players have been able to actually see, is a student of Haas's teachings; he apparently found the writings of Haas, and began to believe them as he saw predictions come true.
In the videos, Mantra appears in a dark setting, so it is difficult to make out much of his appearance or surroundings. Adding to the mystery surrounding him, Mantra's name may be a pseudonym.
Mantra is the one who established the EHWR website, creating it as a test for those seeking to learn of Haas' prophecies, and leaving video recordings for those who completed the puzzles. In organizing the website, however, Mantra appears to be organizing a resistance/survivors group, after most of the known world meets its end.
He has also sent out emails to those who used an address found on the website asking for help; after a certain amount of time, personalized help-mails stopped, and only an automatic response was sent, with a generic list of clues. Personalized emails continued intermittently, for instance in response to an inquiry about a purported Ethan Haas profile on MySpace, which Mantra dismissed.
The Mezin
The Mezin is an unknown group, at least this is what the evidence seems to suggest. They may not be human. They are, however, staunchly opposed to the teachings of Haas, and to the activities of Mantra— to the point that they hacked the outgoing message on Van Mantra's voicemail, prompting Mantra to go even deeper underground than before. It has recently been alluded that the Mezin may have captured Mantra.
