Mage/NPC

• Tolchard Styne -- One of the few mystics who have remained within the Twin Cities after the victory of the Technocracy over the Apostles of Labor, this powerful Hollow One managed to avoid involvement in the war simply by staying off the radar of both sides. As an author, he has a small but loyal following for his Gothic romances and romantic poetry. He owns Summit Terrace, a home once lived in by F. Scott Fitzgerald.

• Araya Antonia de Aviles -- Known as the Queen of Pentacles, this Extraction Division Chair of the Disbursement Methodology of the Syndicate maintains an iron-clad mundane identity as the Vice-President of Internal Operations at the Mall Of America, where she protects the Syndicate's most powerful node and diverts its energies across the world.

• Linus -- Every mage, sorcerer, and psychic with their ear to the ground has heard that you can't beat the drinks at the Prohibition Bar at the Foshay building. No one can beat the skill of this bartender, though no one can remember when Linus isn't at the bar or even when he first started working there.
