The following points include mild spoilers/speculatons about the Dresden Files and Persona. You have been warned.

For characters indoubtly in the know about PPC inside the DFs, there is one I would like to have an opinion about, The Archive, Ivy during the main series.

The Archive is a woman who holds inside her mind a perfect copy of any information ever written, plus the memories of the preceding Archives, and who in the past, could play the Pythie of Delph thanks to this knowledge.

I think she would be in the know because anything written means the charges lists. Now, you could say "Don't write anything then.", and you're right (It's even the 1488th thing not allowed to do inside PPC.). Te catch? It also means the canon material necessary to exorcisms, and once even one book is brought inside this world, she would know about this (And with the slash you can find about Dresden and mafioso Marcone, you bet that exorcisms are in sore need here.) . Now, the Archive can 'delete' an information from her mind once it's the only place where it's left, but couldn't she keeping PPC awareness from this experience?

My other question isn't about canons in the knows, but who could be able to see through SEP Fields and would know if they're faced with a glitterbag: Igor and the Velvet Room attendants inside said Velvet Room.

Gameplay-wise it's a hub where you can fuse new Personae, check Social Links progress... Lorewise, it's a construct inside the Collective Unconscious, manned by Igor, servant of Philemon, supposed to be the embodiement of any good inside mankind (check Jung for more information), and the attendants, other beings from this other world.

Now, the VR is a place who, judging from the implications in-game, exists within the main of the Persona Users linked to Philemon (Persona 1 and 2), or whoever inherited the Wild Card power and passed a 'contract' with Philemon (Persona 3 and 4, for now.).

Now, they also seem to know anyhing about the people(s) linked to the Velvet Room, so the intrusion of a glitterbag would rise their eyebrows. Not only that, but they also say something without a complete psyche cannot enter the VR, and they're aware of the mind of any person entering, and since glitterbags were always stated to be less than complete on that matter, they'll see them as something closer to Shadows than anything else.

Now, it doesn't mean PPC knowledge, but in my opinion, it means no SEP Fields inside this room, and necessity to neuralize Igor and the attendants every single time. Am I right?

Last note, what's would be your opinions about the 'gods' inside the Collective Unconscious, beings like Philemon, no actual gods, but enbodiement of some type of thoughts from mankind, like grief, desire to die...
