Maybe everyone in fandom already noticed this, but I think the son of Jude Perry's first victim makes an appearance in episode 126, Sculptor's Tool. The statement giver says "I'm not one to judge on appearances. I was the one who insisted Desmond still come to church after his operation," and we know that Jude was keeping her eye on a Desmond ("awful name for a baby") in case there was anything else she could "take" from him. Whatever operation the statement giver was alluding to, it seems like it was disfiguring enough to make this Desmond want to avoid his community, which seems very much the Devastation's style.

Change one manipulating bastard for the other, am I right? I definetly do not like whatever Peter Lukas and Martin have going on. Like not at all. And what is this about Dekker's statements? Does it have to do with that new entity he thinks he might have discovered? Is that it??
I don't like not knowing what is going on. And I like it even less that Lukas is keeping them all so far apart.
me, a bastard named gabriel, listening to mag126
Peter Lukas is homophobic
ME TOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
List of things Peter has said about Elias:
(MAG100) “I’m looking for Elias Bouchard? He… runs this Institute. I do have an appointment.”
(MAG100) “Elias can be quite… ‘protective’ of his people. Never really understood why.”
(MAG100) “You are sure you don’t know where Elias Bouchard’s office is?”
(MAG108) “I’m sorry to have disturbed you. It’s one of Elias’s little jokes.”
(MAG108) “Did he suggest you record a statement today? One that mentioned me?”
(MAG108) “I have a meeting with him today. He suggested… I’m sure he’s watching from his office, grinning from ear to ear.”
(MAG108) “I almost thought he genuinely wanted me to meet the team! Oh well.”
(MAG108) “And what’s Elias like to work for? Aside from orchestrating unsettling encounters?”
(MAG108) “How is he as a boss?”
(MAG108) “Oh. That doesn’t sound like the Elias I know. He killed people himself?”
(MAG108) “Elias Bouchard, getting his hands dirty. Well-well. Must be the End Times.”
(MAG108) “Martin, I have a meeting to get to, and a few things to tell Elias to his face about wasting both our time.”
(MAG120) “Honestly, I thought there’d be more of a scene, but… he always surprises me.”
(MAG120) “Look, don’t let Elias get to you. […] I honestly think you managed to surprise him, even if he’d sooner die than admit it.”
(MAG120) “Well, you’ve successfully managed to remove Elias as the Head of the Magnus Institute. […] Not in any, hum, metaphysical sense, no, he’s still very much the… how did he insist on phrasing it… Ah yes, the ‘beating heart of the Institute’. But, practically speaking, he can hardly fulfil his more mundane managerial duties from a jail cell.”
(MAG120) “He… anticipated that you would likely find some way to remove him. So he made alternative arrangements.”
(MAG120) “Oh, and Elias said you’d probably be keeping a close eye on the Archivist’s condition, so I’d be keen to hear any developments.”
(MAG126) “Because, behind all his bluster, Elias’s just like all the rest. He’s so preoccupied playing the game he doesn’t pay attention to the big picture. He managed to convince himself that he could get his ritual off first, which would have made all of this a… bit moot, but that’s not really an option anymore.”
(MAG134) “Elias was, perhaps unsurprisingly, unwilling to help.”
(MAG134) “Honestly, if Elias hadn’t killed that woman, I’d have been very tempted. I warned him she was a danger, but he’s always been–”
(MAG134) “I’m not quite the accomplished voyeur that Elias was.”
(MAG134) “Then, your detective friend went on one of Elias’s wild-goose chases”
