The CEO of Ego Ultd. is as reclusive as he is powerful, as such most of what we know about him must be based on supposition and deduction. The fact that he has been alive since at least a century before The Reckoning means he is more than the simple human wizard and businessman he appears to be on the surface. It is also a matter of public record that he was a more visible and public figure during the founding of New Amet, it can be deduced that something, or someone, has since forced him to now solely reside in his corporation's headquarters and the stronghold of his power: the Universitas. Due to the well established animosity between Ego Ultd. and Elements Unbound as well as less substantiated rumors of conflicts between the megacorporation and The Custodians , it has been hypothesized by conspiracy theorists that there is a secret cold war being waged between Anders Hillstrider and Sessa or perhaps even The Travelers as a whole.
