Margery Fairbairn

Owner of the Lamplight company and Widdershins Mayorial Candidate. The main antagonist of No Rest of the Wicked. Minor antagonist of Curtain Call.



Backstory
The owner of the Lamplight Company, responsible for the street lamps in Widdershins. She stood for Mayor in the 1833 election, running on a platform of restricting the use of magic. She was found to be causing a series of magical 'accidents' using a completely legal summoning of Sloth in order to promote her political career. Before she could be arrested, her factory burned down and she was presumed to have died in the fire - or been consumed by Sloth. She was later discovered trapped in a sub-dimension in an unsleeping state, from which she was 'rescued' (and arrested) by Verity Cunningham and Benjamin Thackerey.
