What is a Person of Interest?
As odd as The Backrooms is in itself, some people still manage to stick out of the crowd like a sore thumb. Persons of Interest, referred to commonly as POIs, are both local and alien to this dimension, both hostile and peaceful to others, and they all have their different motives and drives to do what they want, often times using outlandish methods to reach those mysterious goals.
