Szass Tam
ARCHIVE SUMMARY
Named by Maelra Szandru under compulsion as the mastermind who dispatched her to retrieve an infernal quill from the Counting House vaults. Szass Tam is described as the patron behind a ritual called the Lawful Draw and as someone who will send increasingly dangerous agents to accomplish his aims; Maelra warned that those who oppose him fare poorly.
Used the Book of Dead Schools' memetic network to read Velessa Vaeltharyn's private diary and telepathically addressed her with a mocking remark ('Your diary was an interesting read').
