Voice on the Phone

The Man on the Phone (電話の男) is a term used by members of the Dark Side of Academy City to refer to the mysterious person on the phone who gives them orders.

Principles
Their primary function is to be a liaison between the faction they are ordering and the higher-ups who have power. They also give information or put penalties on those who disobey. As with the case of the GROUP liaison, who hands out information to Accelerator after he asks, as well as punish him in disobeying him by turning off the esper function of his choker-style electrode. They also have command over Powered Suits that acts for them.

As they are responsible for the organization, they will get the blame when an organization goes out of their control. Moreover, their reputation is based on their organization worked, as shown by the ITEM liaison who forces ITEM to payback STUDY for humiliating them. Finally, it is likely that they are the ones who recruits prospective members into the organization, as shown by the GROUP liaison.

According to Etzali, it is unclear whether the person on the phone is a single person or multiple people. Multiple people could be commanding a single organization or each organization could have someone in charge of them. It could even seem like it was multiple people while it was just one person artificially altering their voice. Moreover, according to Etzali's own opinion, the Man on the Phone may not be too large a group as they are too responsive. If the GROUP liaison and ITEM liaison are any indication, with the latter clearly being a woman, it is likely that they are more than one.
