The gate minders are the consciousness that maintain and grow the gate network. Minders are known by different titles depending on the type of work they have done on the network. Minders have normally dedicated a large portion of their life to the network.
Gate Keeper: Maintains individual gates throughout the network ensuring continued efficiency and functionality of the gates in their care. They might also manage a directory of the gates connected to their own.
Gate Maker: Creates the gates. Sometimes the gates are built in place other times not. Gate Makers ensure the efficiency of the gates they build as well as the compatibility of the gates with the rest of the network.
Gate Placer: Places gates across the dimensions. Gate placers travel across the dimensions, they leave gates at places as they see fit. They often times travel through rips however sometimes they have other methods of interdimensional travel.
Each consciousness that works on the network leaves a signature on it. As a result the differences they make can be traced back to them. Signatures can be hidden, minimized, destroyed or forged but they always leave a trace.
