The “Great Higher-Ups” were the people to whom The Man in Grey answered.

Nature

He freely described them as “evil”, a descriptor he also applied to himself, (PROSE: Open Sourcing) and found their true forms scary to behold. (PROSE: Lovie Dovie Stuff) He was keen that they not learn about his connection to the Man in Black. (PROSE: Open Sourcing)

History

The Great Higher-Ups were the ones who ordered the Man in Grey to set up the Multidimensional Finders Service. (PROSE: Open Sourcing)

On one occasion, the Great Higher-Ups kept sending the Man in Grey Glarded funds despite his protests that he could not receive them as his account was presently in a Tax Clode. This caused him to wonder if the Higher-Ups “knew anything about Necronomics”. (PROSE: Lovie Dovie Stuff)

In 2022, the Higher-Ups ordered the Man in Grey to open a second branch of the M.F.S. in Scotland, hiring only open-source characters. (PROSE: Open Sourcing) On the solitary year that he acted as a member of the Interdimensional Pride Council, the Man in Grey did so as the Great Higher-Ups' ambassador. (PROSE: A Series of Queer Events) After he bungled the task completely, the Great Higher-Ups decided to send the Repairer of Reputations to the M.F.S. office to fix the Service's public image.
