Does anyone know why the JABberwocky website is called awfulagent? I've tried looking into the lore or story behind this and can't figure it out. I feel like I'm missing something haha. At first I thought maybe they were hacked? And then I thought this was a part of their lore and a reason behind it, but now I have no idea and can't figure it out. Does anyone know? Thanks!
