Never Take a Sick Day “You think I have time to be sick? I don’t have time to be sick.”
Archie is immune to all mundane diseases; his ability to power through them has always been freakish, but now he doesn’t even have to pretend nothing’s bothering him.
Whether it’s true or not, Archie is confident that the whole building would come down if he weren’t on call to do his job as the head secretary of the Bank of America Corporate HQ. Having a job like that, you can’t be out for any reason- he has no kids to speak of, and honestly loves the job. So, when he got sick and powered through it much more miraculously than he should have been able to, Archie made his first realization on what the Games might be doing for him.

Charlatans
“Unsettling are the days in which everyone is an expert.”
― Criss Jami
Nowadays you can't go a day without some phony prophet trying to peddle their wares to you.
Driven by the increased interest in the supernatural, charlatans from palm readers to televangelists are everywhere. And while the vast majority of witches, psychics, magicians, hypnotists, cures, potions, faith healers, and clairvoyants are complete fakes, they do make a living.
As the saying goes, "it's easier for an actor to make it in alternative medicine than Hollywood."
Most people scoff at these clearly-phony supernatural services, yet those same people often buy into at least one scam.
The most dangerous charlatans are the self-styled monster hunters who carry a mall-ninja arsenal and guns with silver bullets. Most have never encountered anything supernatural and do absolutely nothing besides burn some sage and patrol the area for a night or two. Even so, those who are superstitious, fearful, or desperate enough will hire them to solve the problems they simply don't understand. In some cases with disastrous results.
For Contractors, charlatans are red herrings and obstacles. Clumsy fakes that conjure a smokescreen of misinformation and escalate the situations they're in.

In God Health
"He said - 'If you listen carefully to the LORD your God and do what is right in his eyes, if you pay attention to his commands and keep all his decrees, I will not bring on you any of the diseases I brought on the Egyptians, for I am the LORD, who heals you.'" - Exodus 15:26
The Sword of the Lord protects Ellis from the corrupting rot of sin.

As a sign of this protection, he is consumed with a soft golden glow, which blazes bright whenever he prays for healing.
