Here's mine again:

'''Okay so y’all know who Fallon Vacker is right? Fallon Vacker at the moment is just some random character Alden keeps going to for advice, right? He’s an ancient. But so far he’s been stubbornly unhelpful- why would Shannon have him in the story if he was never going to be helpful? That’s something her editor would DEFINITELY catch. And then you have Alvar and his thing at the end of Neverseen- check out these quotes Nightfall, Page 612: “I can also run it by the former Lumenarium guards,” Alden offered. “And Fallon as well. He wouldn’t let me in the last time I visited, but he did respond a few times when I shouted through the door.”

Page 622, Neverseen: “How could you?” Biana asked. (About Alvar’s involvement in Wylie’s kidnapping) Alvar’s expression softened when he looked at his sister. “You’ll understand, someday, when you see the Vacker legacy for what it is.”

Okay so: I think Fallon has been so unhelpful because he didn’t want them into the cache, because BECAUSE he was an ancient, he knows what happened with the Elvin-human war and that it was really Vespera’s fault. He was an ancient, and a councillor, so he knows that, and he probably knows that’s what’s in the caches, and is protecting it. And remember, Fallon is so reclusive because of all his memories. Maybe because the guilt is too much for him to handle. But what about when the Council releases the truth about their history? They say that will happen soon in nightfall Alden was asking him if he knew anything about the caches passwords So- the book is called Flashback, and Shannon said it will be very memory based. Two things have been left unanswered for a while: what’s in the caches, and what is Sophie’s stolen memory? I think the caches will be opened in this one. And this is when Fallon finally becomes helpful. When he hears they already know about the Vespera thing, and he can’t protect them from the past anymore, maybe he’ll be more helpful so that they can prevent the past from repeating itself. Also, there’s the Vacker Legacy hovering in the background- what is that? She’s gonna have to bring it up sooner or later. I think Fallon knows about this. That could add to his guilt and reason for hiding. He knows what either he did or what his ancestor did. Think about Alvar’s quote. It suggests that part of the reason he joined the Neverseen was the Vacker Legacy. What if one of the Vackers was in on Vesperas plan, maybe working with her? So in short, I think Fallon knows how to open or something about opening the caches.'''
