Aiden Price

The Counsellor, as named by Burnie Burns, is apparently a high-ranking member of the Freelancer Project. He is depicted as a bald African-American whose voice, due to being transmitted via comlink, has so far been slightly distorted.

The Counsellor first appears in a flashback during Part IV of Recovery One, where he interrogates Washington about the failure of the Epsilon AI and informs him he is a candidate for Recovery. His next appearance is in Reconstruction, where he appears on a monitor and interrogates Walter Henderson before exchanging dialog with Washington about where to begin his search for the Meta. He also speaks briefly with Washington in Chapter 19 and attempts to negotiate with the Meta.
