Unknown or Unchecked People

Being those people whose nature (celestial, ethereal or mortal) is either in doubt or has never in fact been checked by the angels.

Vanessa Fairbourn
Mary Green
Joanna Jennings
Helen Williams
Coral Wilson

Five women who live upstairs at Giuseppe's nightclub, which, it should be remembered, is or was also a brothel. Since the angels never met them, or at least not for more than a few seconds while blowing up demons, they aren't getting individual entries ('cos I'm getting tired!).

WPC Melanie Herald

Mel Herald is, or at least was, PC Justin Wells' regular partner. She disappeared with him during the emergency response to the crash of Flight 8081, and after Wells' recovery was seen walking off apparently happily with their abductors. Something funny is going on here.

Michael Jones

A young man in a suit and tie waiting in the Arrivals lounge at Heathrow Airport on the morning that Flight 8081 crashed. Name determined by use of the Seraph of Destiny attunement. So now you know.

Detective Sergent Michael Martins

One of the policemen at Chiswick station where Blakely works, and the speaker-to-mortals in the investigation into Jane Weaver's murder. DS Martins is a fairly average officer with a lazy streak a mile wide when his DI isn't monopolising his time.

PC Richard McClennan

Yet another officer known to Blakely, PC McClennan was one of those who accompanied the foresnic doctor down the sewers where Justin Wells was found.

Shelly McKenzie

Shelly McKenzie is a good-looking woman, that's for certain. Chocolate brown skin tones, eyebrows to die for — men notice this sort of thing. Well, women do. She's also easy to get on with, very friendly — but then she is a psychiatric nurse, and that's part of the job description. She also cooks a mean curry, the thing that has really hooked her husband Andrew (at least according to him!). On the whole, what's not to like, unless you have a particular problem with American accents?

Well, the fact that she has claimed to be psychic is the main thing upsetting the local angels. That she apparently picked up on Justin Wells' pain and made a beeline for him — through the sewars — is bound to raise suspicions amongst people actively looking for demonic involvement. That she has done her best to hide the involvement of another bunch of people really hasn't gone down well with the more law-and-order oriented. And her active suspiciousness of the Seraph planted in her husband's employ hasn't made anyone rest easier. That said Seraph hasn't yet got a useful resonance on her is just par for the course with Excel.

Oh yes — she did manage to calm down a potential fight rather quickly. But then she is a psychiatric nurse…

Richard Minton

The man who lived with Amanda Wood eighteen years ago, shortly before David was born. None of the party have ever seen him.

Sam

A name mentioned in passing by Zack as the person who told him to expect aid, and refered to as Zack's uncle. Possibly connected to the guy in the Far Marches. Or not. The angels have no data to go on.

South Americans

A bunch of South American Indians were discovered down the sewers where Justin Wells was recovered. It is believed they were the kidnappers, and they have subsequently been seen with Melanie Herald apparently walking along without a care in the world. More importantly, they seem to be able to envelope themselves in some form of white fire that has unusual Celestial effects (i.e. it's very hot and it did some weird twanging on angels' Forces). The Servitors of Lightning would like to know more.

Suspicious Man at Heathrow Airport

There was a chap acting out of place at the airport, then later at the plane crash. The angels never did find out any more about him. Heheheheh.

PC Justin Wells

A young constable at the same station that Blakely works from, Justin Wells came to the attention of the local angels when he took an undue interest in the doings of Alex Verison. Since Wells had a slight reputation for laziness, and Alex's not-quite-stepson-yet David Wood was known to be being watched by a Djinn, alarms were raised. And stayed raised, despite panning out as human to all available covert tests; the angels asserted that he must be a Gamester with the Humanity attunement. It would be classic Game tactics after all.

Now that he has been recovered, horribly burned, from an unscheduled trip down the sewars, and has been retested after being guaranteed unconscious for twenty four hours, and still checks out as human (well, as having "Justin" as he True Name anyway), they aren't so sure any more. Maybe he's just Hellsworn. Maybe he's just in the wrong place at the wrong time. Maybe the angels are going to have to get less subtle. Who knows?

Detective Sergeant Stephen Winters

Another officer at the Chiswick police station, DS Winters has been involved in a number of investigations that Blakely has worked on. Most recently, he was the police accident coordinator for the aircraft crash on the M4, and has de facto charge of the investigation into the disappearance of PC Wells and WPC Herald as a result. Normally quite a cheerful bloke, DS Winters hasn't had a lot to laugh about of late.
