NPC Spotlight :: The Vaudeville Fellow before Vox & Pentagram City's Golden Age of Theatre | Ira & Claude

Thanks @arachn0philia for the inspiration of the rivalry!

Vox isn't the first media Overlord in Hell, that much is obvious with Alastor's presence alone. What slightly less people realize, is they're not the first set of media Overlord rivals either.

Ira and Claude were the last set, and were, themselves, one of a long line of them. Their point of contention, rather than the news, as their predecessors disagreed on, was the theatre. Claude was born in 1877, and grew up in a family that were performers. His older brother became a circus performer, his parents found their niche as some of the earliest Vaudeville performers when the genre was just beginning to make its way in America.

He could dance, sing, play a handful of instruments. He was a multi-talented individual, who spent most of his life as a travelling performer. He spent more time in a theatre than a house, and learned a lot of his basic skills in tandem with it. He needed to read to read scripts, he needed math to balance the troupe's books. And really, nothing ever changed for him, he just went from ferrying props back and forth to being a performer, and then a headlining act.

In 1916, he died-- it might have been malicious, it might have been an accident, but something went terribly wrong with the stage curtain where he was performing, and dead went the Vaudevillian when it collapsed on him.

He woke up in Pentagram City with a new face-- a theatre mask, which while not traditionally something he used in his acts, also was fine enough! He picked up a dab hand at dramatic makeup and little appliques to change each given look.

He didn't set out to be an Overlord, really, he didn't, but the variety shows welcomed everyone and so his little section of the city, and it really was small! Just a few streets, welcomed in circus performers who no longer had their circus, and the other Vaudeville ones, the burlesque shows, the cabaret. It was all entertainment, and this is the point of contention he found with Ira.

Claude wasn't the only theatre Overlord in the early part of the century. Isidoro (but as that was a name a toddler had to live up to, he mostly went by Ira) had been born fifty years earlier in 1827, and to a relatively well-off Italian family. He was educated in all the classics and their languages, and the scripture. He could play instruments and dance as a gentleman should, and most importantly, he could sing. When he was sixteen, his education tilted properly into professional stagecraft.

For Ira, the goal of theatre was only ever half for entertainment. The stage was a place of wonder, where stories that could cross border and language and space could be performed. Tragedies could make people cry, and in no place was that as clear as the opera.

Ira, throughout his tenure, played all sorts of roles-- he played the young leading man, when he got older, the father, he directed, he was beloved during a golden age of the medium. While he stayed, primarily, in Italy, he travelled to France, and to Germany, he performed across Europe.

And then, in his own tragic twist of fate, found his own at the end of a rope, caught up in the rigging in 1881. In Hell, he looked like an Opera dei Pupi marionette. His limbs hung strangely, he moved in ways alien to a biological form-- his face was painted, and in Hell, he became the foremost Overlord in charge of the theatre.

He thought it best in its 'purer' forms-- opera, of course, but also the more naturalistic, realist plays, Shakespeare and all the great classics. He appealed to the sinners who craved something... higher class than what was usually on offer, and even the Ars Goetia could sometimes be found to frequent his theatres.

And then came Claude, who peddled cheap comedy, and a scandalous laugh to the masses, who charged a pittance for entry.

Their rivalry was never as... explosive as their successors would be, and took more the form of defaced posters, and shows set on the same nights. Claude's acts would have pointed jokes-- and perhaps, it would have gone the way of Vox and Alastor, but instead they ended up striking up, at least part of, a friendship. Claude would attend the operas, and even if his face, and his clothing was clearly costume, they found a middle-ground in the Commedia dell'arte, and in the late 1930s, a handful of plays were performed as a collaboration between the two of them.

There was, perhaps, some value to the others perspective, and when they weren't spitting audiences between each other, it strengthened both of them.

Sadly, the theatre, as much a place of family and camaraderie, is also one of petty jealousy and people who believe they are more talented than they are. In 1953, Ira was killed by one of his actresses who believed she had been scorned and passed over again, and again, and who had plotted with her newest beau that if he was out of the way, that they could take over and make her a star.

If it hadn't been for Claude's tempering influence, Ira would have become one of the jars in Sloth, as it was, he found himself in Heaven, and very little changed.

As for Claude, in the first extermination following Vox's death, very shortly after his fall, Claude was caught up in it. He had always just sort of been a fine enough fellow, and when he ended up at the pearly gates, knew enough to lie to not draw any attention to himself and his arrival from Hell, not very pious, but a useful trick for a performer to pull.

The power vacuum he left was a perfect opportunity for Vox, and so ended Hell's golden age of the theatre.

He and Ira's rivalry remains in Heaven, but its playful, and in much the same way that Claude accepted everyone in Hell, a lot of the children who end up in Heaven without parents become regulars where he is.

Citations: Can Anthropic’s New Feature Solve AI’s Trust Problem?

Citations: Can Anthropic’s New Feature Solve AI’s Trust Problem?

AI verification has been a serious issue for a while now. While large language models (LLMs) have advanced at an incredible pace, the challenge of proving their accuracy has remained unsolved.

Anthropic is trying to solve this problem, and out of all of the big AI companies, I think they have the best shot.

The company has released Citations, a new API feature for its Claude models that changes how the AI systems verify their responses. This tech automatically breaks down source documents into digestible chunks and links every AI-generated statement back to its original source – similar to how academic papers cite their references.

Citations is attempting to solve one of AI’s most persistent challenges: proving that generated content is accurate and trustworthy. Rather than requiring complex prompt engineering or manual verification, the system automatically processes documents and provides sentence-level source verification for every claim it makes.

The data shows promising results: a 15% improvement in citation accuracy compared to traditional methods.

Why This Matters Right Now

AI trust has become the critical barrier to enterprise adoption (as well as individual adoption). As organizations move beyond experimental AI use into core operations, the inability to verify AI outputs efficiently has created a significant bottleneck.

The current verification systems reveal a clear problem: organizations are forced to choose between speed and accuracy. Manual verification processes do not scale, while unverified AI outputs carry too much risk. This challenge is particularly acute in regulated industries where accuracy is not just preferred – it is required.

The timing of Citations arrives at a crucial moment in AI development. As language models become more sophisticated, the need for built-in verification has grown proportionally. We need to build systems that can be deployed confidently in professional environments where accuracy is non-negotiable.

Breaking Down the Technical Architecture

The magic of Citations lies in its document processing approach. Citations is not like other traditional AI systems. These often treat documents as simple text blocks. With Citations, the tool breaks down source materials into what Anthropic calls “chunks.” These can be individual sentences or user-defined sections, which created a granular foundation for verification.

Here is the technical breakdown:

Document Processing & Handling

Citations processes documents differently based on their format. For text files, there is essentially no limit beyond the standard 200,000 token cap for total requests. This includes your context, prompts, and the documents themselves.

PDF handling is more complex. The system processes PDFs visually, not just as text, leading to some key constraints:

32MB file size limit

Maximum 100 pages per document

Each page consumes 1,500-3,000 tokens

Token Management

Now turning to the practical side of these limits. When you are working with Citations, you need to consider your token budget carefully. Here is how it breaks down:

For standard text:

Full request limit: 200,000 tokens

Includes: Context + prompts + documents

No separate charge for citation outputs

For PDFs:

Higher token consumption per page

Visual processing overhead

More complex token calculation needed

Citations vs RAG: Key Differences

Citations is not a Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) system – and this distinction matters. While RAG systems focus on finding relevant information from a knowledge base, Citations works on information you have already selected.

Think of it this way: RAG decides what information to use, while Citations ensures that information is used accurately. This means:

RAG: Handles information retrieval

Citations: Manages information verification

Combined potential: Both systems can work together

This architecture choice means Citations excels at accuracy within provided contexts, while leaving retrieval strategies to complementary systems.

Integration Pathways & Performance

The setup is straightforward: Citations runs through Anthropic’s standard API, which means if you are already using Claude, you are halfway there. The system integrates directly with the Messages API, eliminating the need for separate file storage or complex infrastructure changes.

The pricing structure follows Anthropic’s token-based model with a key advantage: while you pay for input tokens from source documents, there is no extra charge for the citation outputs themselves. This creates a predictable cost structure that scales with usage.

Performance metrics tell a compelling story:

15% improvement in overall citation accuracy

Complete elimination of source hallucinations (from 10% occurrence to zero)

Sentence-level verification for every claim

Organizations (and individuals) using unverified AI systems are finding themselves at a disadvantage, especially in regulated industries or high-stakes environments where accuracy is crucial.

Looking ahead, we are likely to see:

Integration of Citations-like features becoming standard

Evolution of verification systems beyond text to other media

Development of industry-specific verification standards

The entire industry really needs to rethink AI trustworthiness and verification. Users need to get to a point where they can verify every claim with ease.
