Ex Sir Ex and the Death Cookie

One sad but interesting turn of events was the disillusionment of Sir Experimentum and his subsequent betrayal to the Order. Do to personal RL issues and power struggles within the Order, in vengeance, Sir EX decided to go public with what was called the Death Cookie. This was followed up by SIr EX on the CN Forum with a thread attacking the character of Dame Hime Themis. Sir Ex requested that all mention of him and any works he authored for the Rose be removed.
