A potential customer cannot contact the Serpentine Table directly. Instead, the Table contacts the client. Using the Disguise Self ritual, the Table’s spokesperson can appear in any number of guises, but always refers to himself or herself as the Hydra. It’s possible that there is only one Hydra, but in all likelihood many agents assume this role. A cunning PC could falsely represent himself or herself as the Hydra—but those few known to have done so were all assassinated shortly thereafter.
