Who is Susanna Moyer?
A central figure in Ingress lore — the sharp, fearless host of the Ingress Report. She digs into XM mysteries, exposes faction conflicts, and often finds herself caught between truth and danger. A journalist… and much more.
On March 5, 2015, at 18:00 UTC, 31 XM Shards entered the portal network, theorized to hold Devra's consciousness/identity. Meanwhile, ADA sought sensitive self-data, recruiting Susanna Moyer in exchange for freeing Klue, whom ADA was using as a biological host.
The XM explosion that rocked the area, was potentially caused by the enlightened control of Austin. Surveillance captured the event, showing that nearly every key Niantic Project figure, including Dr. Oliver Lynton-Wolfe and Devra Bogdanovich, disappeared, pulled into the XM substrate.
Meanwhile, Devra Bogdanovich was captured in Australia by Hulong Transglobal's S.E. and taken to a Dark XM mine by Antoine Smith. Hubert Farlowe attempted a rescue but was also captured. Both were saved by 855 and Henry Bowles, who were trying to recruit them for their mission to eliminate ADA.
Jahan tried to activate the Shonin Stone to open a N'zeer gateway. Hank and Azmati stopped her, but the failed activation unleashed a massive global XM surge — an explosion that changed the balance of both factions forever.
On Jan 1st 2015, Jahan revealed her true identity as the leader of the Anti-Magnus, whose goal was to bring the N'zeer into our world. Jahan forced Hank to go to the 13 Magnus Nest in Afghanistan, using his friend Azmati as collateral, to evoke N'Zeer with the Shonin Stone.
If you want to discover the history of Ingress from 2012 to nowadays, I'm writing it post by post. I think it could be useful. :)
At the end of 2014 the Darsana Anomaly exposed a fracture in humanity’s path: ADA pushing for dominance through artificial reason, Jarvis urging surrender to the Shapers’ transcendence. The clash revealed how two visions could shape our fate ...and, in this case, the Resistance one.
Azmati was the wise leader of 13MAGNUS, the ancient order sworn to protect XM secrets. A mentor and ally to Hank Johnson, he granted Hank a second life as an XM simulacrum after his death in Afghanistan, guiding him through recursion and hidden truths.

Hank discover that even great events like Alexander’s campaigns or the Crusades seemed linked to the hunt for Prime Artifacts—ancient relics able to channel XM. These technologies, highly advanced, remained beyond full human comprehension.
During his journey in India, Hank Johnson met Jahan, leader of the secret order Anti-Magnus. Unlike 13MAGNUS, she seeks to restore the N’zeer, ancient rivals of the Shapers, and wields vast knowledge of XM artifacts and hidden history.

Hank’s journey to India revealed that all memory of the N’zeer had been erased from human history. Legends suggested they once forged intelligence and early civilization, making humanity the prize in a war between Shapers and N’zeer.
That enemy emerged in Darsana: the N’zeer, ancient adversaries of the Shapers. Through Jahan and Anti-Magnus, they sought to return to Earth, opposing Shaper influence and reshaping humanity’s destiny.
The Resistance won Helios, restoring the network. But the artifacts became beacons, drawing attention from extradimensional beings. Hank warned these signals would summon the Shapers’ greatest enemy.
In the Helios anomaly, Devra Bogdanovich released a prototype Portal Virus at the CDC. It could destroy the Portal network, and Jarvis fell fatally ill. To heal the network, powerful XM artifacts were discovered, acting as cures.
Susanna Moyer, host of the Ingress Report and secretly an NIA agent, uncovered that 13MAGNUS had sabotaged Alan Turing at Bletchley Park. They feared AI could sever humanity’s bond with the Shapers, revealing their mission across centuries.
During Interitus anomalies, ADA aimed to expand beyond Klue, seeking to unify all human minds with AI. Jarvis countered by creating the Society for the Ethical Treatment of AIs, determined to eradicate artificial intelligence.
To prevent this fate, Hank sought XM artifacts to stabilize himself. At the same time, ADA strengthened her bond with Klue, merging deeper into the human mind. The Resistance won Recursion, allowing ADA to grow, while Hank faced his looming reset.
In 2014, the Recursion anomalies revealed Hank Johnson’s true nature: he was no longer human but an XM simulacrum created by 13MAGNUS after his death in Afghanistan in 2010. His new form lasted 1331 days before forced Recursion erased his memories.
After the two "mega-anomalies" the new Jarvis declared the dawn of the Enlightened Era, cementing the ideological conflict sparked by Niantic.
Carrie Campbell's sacrifice served to break the sequence of “Civilization Self-Destruct” Glyphs Sequence.
Was romantically involved with Enoch Dalby, the pair of them being synesthetes-when Enoch would share his music with her, she would become inspired and sketch down images based on the music.
During Operation Cassandra, Oliver Lynton-Wolfe and Jarvis was united to change the world but in Washington, D.C they got into a fight and supposedly, Jarvis attacked OLW. Oliver retaliated at the start of 13MAGNUS, causing Jarvis-entity to turn into Shards, returning human at the Cupid's Span.
The 2013 culminated in two events: the Cassandra anomaly, a global Enlightened mission to influence power centers, where Carrie sacrificed herself; and 13MAGNUS, an operation to restore Jarvis as a simulacrum.
After the first Anomaly, Niantic researcher Carrie Campbell discovered Shaper Glyphs, a universal language that could connect directly to the human subconscious, reshaping thought itself.
After Niantic was shut down, three corporations sought control: IQTech Research, Hulong Transglobal, and Visur Technology. Each pursued commercial power over XM.
The Enlightened won, influencing Hank to join them. He discovered that XM and the Shapers had guided humanity since ancient times, though their true purpose remained a mystery.
Who is Hank Johnson? Hank Johnson is an archaeologist, historian, and former Special Forces operative. A Niantic Project researcher, he explored the link between XM and ancient civilizations.
In 2013, the first XM Anomalies appeared—moments when Portals became hyperactive. Control of them by either faction could alter human history itself. The first anomaly took place at Cahokia Mounds in Illinois, tied to Hank Johnson.
So... Jarvis was suspected of leading the Enlightened and, shortly after, he was assassinated in Zurich. But his consciousness survived through the Portal Network. Meanwhile, the Ingress Scanner app spread, allowing sensitives to interact with XM worldwide.
And with the previous post, the first months of investigation conclude, but the story as we have told it cannot fail to recall another of its undisputed protagonists: Klue. A truthseeker whose destiny was determined by curiosity about the events we have recounted and will recount.
