The Sons of Salem
We swear to secure our people against the wickedness and evil of the invisible world.
We swear to aid the afflicted.
We swear to stay ever vigilant and seek out the abominable witchcrafts committed in this country.
We humbly pray to be blessed by God to hold all those who consort with the Devil accountable. Amen
—Opening and closing prayer for Sons of Salem meetings.
The Sons of Salem is a loosely-organized conservative populist movement in the United States that preaches violent opposition to anything they perceive as witchcraft, demonic, or monstrous.
Blowhard podcaster Ted Gundy and former general of the mercenary group “Hognose,” Roland Rush, founded the movement in 2010 after a series of violent werewolf attacks and unexplained, supernatural murders in Tennessee. Memberships grew quickly, stoked by Ted’s fiery doomsday rhetoric on his podcast "Truth Seekers" and the aspiration of the masculine power embodied by Roland.
Although they speak of duty, honor, and maintaining the “natural order” of things, the Sons of Salem are driven by fear. They collect guns and appear at protests en-masse as a way of easing the all-consuming terror of their powerlessness. At the same time, they have conditioned themselves to respond to fear with “strength” (read: violence).

Eins is synchronized with the song of the world, what she calls 'The Signal', granting her the ability to perceive reality in a much clearer form, even if she doesn't want to or if it's harmful to her. However being able to perceive this song allows her to manipulate it and even generate her own.

Tempus Videt Omnia
I looked into time and heard it calling to me.
Alan's irises, no longer a faint blue, are now brilliant emerald green, and seem to catch the light like they were jewels. When he uses his sight to react preeminently or trace the threads of time to catch clues he might otherwise miss, this spreads over his whole sclera and shrinks his pupil to a pinpoint, giving the look of actual gemstones in his eye sockets to the truly observant. Regardless, they look more haunted now.
A foolhardy attempt a a ritual beyond his skill gave Alan a glimpse of the infinity of time. His eyes have absorbed the emerald he used as a focus, and this has sharpened his perception of the world, as well as letting him glimpse the interactions of the timelines of himself and people and things around him. This event has strained his mind, however, and left him more susceptible to traumas from events around him.

Mind Palace
Oh, and just one more thing...
Over the course of the years, Dick has honed his senses and his memory to the point that he's now constructed what he calls his "Mind Palace". When he needs to, he can sort through the palace to see through his known clues and the surroundings around him far more clearly by organizing his vision and thoughts in a construct that only makes sense to him.
