Please explain this sentence for me!
Hello, I saw this sentence in a video game and it was "while the nature of his abrupt mental breakdown remains unknown, we do know he was clad only in his socks and rumored to be in possession of Emperor Mengsk's manifesto and a pound of peanut butter". I dont quite understand the sentence "in posession of Mengsk's manifesto". Does it mean the person has a video, or book, or speech record of the manifesto?

Thanks for your reply!

En Taro Tasadar!

Let's use our imagination :)First of all, we know that he is out of his mind. We dont know why he lost it but we know what he did (The rest of the sentence explains it). What a  naked(except his socks) mad-man can do with something greasy like butter? :) Still need a clue? Replace the manifesto with a photograph of a beautiful naked sexy lady.

Answer

Since a manifesto is usually a written document, I would imagine what he had was something printed such as a book, file or manuscript.
