Notes 

  • Increase Banewatch is the ex-husband of Elspetha 'Elspeth' Felmeter and Staniwick's father, whom he sired during a brief marriage-alliance with Elspetha, who was both a lover and rival for eldritch secrets. Even between lovers, there is a cost to share one's grimoire, and for Increase, that cost was a combination of reciprocal browsing of Elspetha's grimorie and carnal cohabitation.
  • Like Staniwick and Elspetha, Increase's patron is one of the fiends from the Nether by the name of Mil'gaz, the Ruby's Talon. Mil'gaz is a Dreadlord formerly hiding amongst the Scarlet Crusade before being driven out by another of his kind and took up residence within the ranks of the Syndicate.
  • Increase's bond with Mil'gaz is expressed by his 'Pact of the Blade.' Increase carries the rapier, Ruby's Kiss, which is both a magical rapier, and an arcane focus that channels his spells.
