Five Gurus

The Five's yearbook entry in Second Impact. From left to right on the bottom row, the Gurus are numbered: 2, 1, 4, & 3. Guru #5 towers above them in the background.

The Five Gurus, a.k.a. The Five, are a mysterious group of characters appearing in Bear Stearns Bravo, Horse eBooks & Pronunciation Book. They also appeared individually in the Bravospam art exhibit, on 9/24.

Trivia

• #3 is a library patron at the LA Public Library, and can be spoken to there in Second Impact.

• The Five Gurus are played by the following actors:
  • #1—Jackie Zebrowski
  • #2—Jared Warner .
  • #3—Nikhil Rao

• Each of the actors who played the Five Gurus (bar Goldwyn, #5) played the stars of the Sexual Harassment Video by Rocko di Pietro.

Speculation

• The career science card, "the Five Friends", may somehow relate to the five, as they are--naturally--five friends.
• There may be other gurus than these five, as Glyph implies he is one in the Desert Ending
