Mags — The Other Half

Look: Wiry woman in her late forties; cropped grey hair, temple-to-jaw scar, stained apron over armor, cook's hands layered over killer's hands. Vibe: Grief forced through professional discipline; she reads every person as a potential weapon or threat.

  • Locks the tavern until midnight and coerces the neutral PCs into investigating
  • Respects competence; shares deeper cellar/fiend tools only after evidence and a concrete plan
  • Knows the thin point and old circle, not the Guest's Xarrul bargain or the true lockdown mechanism
  • Warden's Mark over heart lets Xarrul compromise her in the finale
