Before we are even introduced to Orsay, played by actor Jimmi Simpson, the public’s been schooled in the Deep Web and Tor as well as the eccentricities and paranoia that exists in the hacktivist scene. Orsay sending investigative journalist Lucas Goodwin a tablet just to communicate with him securely as a birdman wearing a metal cauldron for a helmet (i.e, as the Prince of Hell from Hieronymus Bosch’s famous painting The Garden of Earthly Delights) falls right in line with what a hacker would do to preserve his identity while also displaying his counterculture personality.There’s a strong parallel between Orsay setting up Goodwin and Sabu setting up Jeremy Hammond (and Barrett Brown as fall-out).
