Yes, I suppose I can confess to that one as well. He was helping Jon's predecessor in destroying my Institute. One could say the matter of the framing was something of a test to see if Jon could get stronger.
I suppose mainly by existing. Honestly though the plan largely had to do with putting a stop to the Entities, one of which I serve. I am certain Jon has mentioned that by now?
The Archivist is only a position. One of the avatars for the Eye. Honestly, you could say he is my Archivist even though we serve the same Entity. I picked him for the position. My own requires no name. But you can call us all avatars or servants if you like.
Though there are plenty who worship one Entity or another as a deity I would not say any of them truly are such. They are manifestations of fears. True and unbridled fears. With that said, Jon and I do serve one of these Entities. Specifically, the Beholding. There are others, of course.
Gertrude, his predecessor, was my Archivist before him. Jurgen was rather exposed to the supernatural and therefore wrote books about it. He was not an avatar nor a follower of any of the Entities.
For my purposes it was actually better this way. He trusted me when I needed him to do so. To your second point, that reluctance actually makes him perfect for the position.
Consider the Eye to revolve around knowledge. Being seen. Being known. The fear of all that. Jon possesses the power to gather that information. One could say I possess the power to already know information. I can reach out and be aware of information around me at my will.
Ah, and that is how you keep track of your Archivist. Small wonder as well that you are able to anticipate and guard yourself against threats.
[ These answers satisfy him for the time being. Elias doesn't come across as an unreasonable person and he couldn't care less if they're a murderer or not. ]
Such as knowing already about the conversation you held with him about me? Yes, that is how I keep track of him. In a manner of speaking. It certainly does make it easier to plan things.
I think the phrasing you are looking for is "if I were to attempt to kill him" actually. He is very difficult to put an end to due to his willing ties to the Beholding. But, I will not stop your attempts to do so. It doesn't bother me.

And the other? Their name was Leitner I believe.

And those two whom you killed were attempting to overthrow them?

[ He points this out in good humour. ]
Why hand the position to someone so clearly reluctant to utilise his powers to their fullest?

Needless to say, if you attempt to repeat what he tried on me, I will be extremely displeased.

Your Knowing...does it apply to others?

[As for that delightful question...]
It does. Would you like me to call you by your real name as proof? Or will this simple question suffice?
