Foreign observers from a source already seen

[+Oltux72]

Shards show some interest in foreign star systems. Harmony runs a secret service. For the others we do not fully know, but there is a Shard that likes to do things semipersonally. In fact splitpersonally. Now there have long been assumptions by a process of elimination that Trell is an avatar of Autonomy. Trell was present on classical Scadrial already. Do we really believe that Autonomy placed a sleeper on Scadrial centuries before the action began, but did nothing on Roshar? I doubt that.

So who is the agent? I have a hunch: Sixteen. No supplies, no wastes, no company. He lived kind of autonomously.

I like this theory  would Sixteen be an agent of Trell only, or any or all of Bavadin's extensions?

The name also thematically fits with what some have suggested may be Bavadin’s view that the Shards should remain separate  and apart (as opposed to the remake Adonalsium camp).
