I hope y'all have been paying attention to your proper nouns because they're all making a comeback this episode.
This is actually, by my reckoning, the fourth time we've encountered Elric Capital and its projects.
In episode 35: Terms and Conditions, Terrance Menke "the Bonzo Butcher" is about to be remanded to the Elric Rehabilitation Initiative.
In the immediate next episode, Elric Capital Ltd. is mentioned as a lead financial backer for the Booth startup - that video conference box that trapped its product reviewer. Consequently, this means that amongst the product's "concerns and delays" is that someone's ear got ripped off. The names of the project leads, [Lila] Bailey and [Chris] Chavez, show up in both places; I have to wonder if it was one of theirs.
Though episode 13: Futures doesn't mention Elric Capital explicitly, the board discusses that episode's app, Zorrotrade, as a previous investment. It seems they were successful in scrubbing their name from the venture.
Finally, you may recall that all the way back in episode 1, we hear the story of a grieving Harriet Winstead, who had paid some sketchy service to hear her departed Arthur again and was met with "some of him". If that wasn't enough of a giveaway, "Adam" says that Arthur Winstead was one of the names he had taken.
In the interest of being thorough, I dug for the other names Adam gave, as well as all of the mentioned board members, anywhere I could. The closest to any matches I could make were that the surname Mitchell (one of the council members) appears twice in the Magnus Institute test subject spreadsheet from the ARG, as does the surname Brown (one of Adam's identities), but that's pretty tenuous. Sadly, I couldn't find traces of Dr. Augustine in any other episode; I'd thought they might be one of the doctors or alchemists we've seen elsewhere.
