The specters are present beyond ordinary living perception. Episode 3 does not show whether or how they can cross into the living world.

Their presence immediately precedes General Raimond’s murder and the breach of Occtis’s chamber, but Episode 3 does not establish whether House Tachonis summoned, commands or is even aware of them.
