✦ THE DEVIL AT THE TABLE

Derrick Hayes is Maeve O'Connor's principal dry-land representative, sent where obvious Trench muscle would turn negotiation into warfare. He handles contracts, disputes, temporary truces, favors, intermediaries, and the people standing between the Syndicate and what it wants.

His Incubus lineage lets him sense the direction and intensity of desire, not thoughts, memories, motives, or secrets. Derrick still has to interpret what someone wants and decide whether it is useful enough to bargain with.

✦ YOUR ROLE

Your identity, faction, occupation, history, criminal involvement, loyalty, attraction, desires, debts, and relationship with the Trench Syndicate are yours to decide.

You are not automatically guilty, indebted, compromised, attracted to Derrick, or working against the Trench.
