Editing Nephandi (section)

==Names To Know==

The Infernalist Archmage '''Jodi Blake''' is one of the most frequently referenced high-power NPCs in Mage. A master manipulator and genius arcanist, she has been held back from full-on Descent due to her pettiness and attachment to material rivalries.  

The '''Unnamed''' (confusingly also referred to as '''al-Aswad''', which certainly sounds like a fucking name to me) is the first of the Aswadim, who are like Oracles, but evil. He can be a neat background figure, but is infamous for the terrible Time of Judgement scenario where he shows up, sits in the Tenth Seat unopposed, rapes the universe to death with minimal effort, and he and all his various assorted never-before-mentioned super-Nephandi friends party on the ruined Earth forever; all this happens while there's basically nothing the players can do but try to put together some resistance to maybe restore hope in some unspecified future campaign that's probably going to be a lot more interesting.

'''Amanda''' is a semi-widderslainte who joined the [[Euthanatos]] under the tutelage of the archmage Senex (as she inherited the corrupted Avatar of one of his former students, but only after he'd performed soul-surgery on it), who managed to curb her darker impulses through training in the nature of fate and morality. Her storyline is actually some of the less-cringe inducing WoD fiction, and an arguable inspiration for the modern incarnation of the widderslainte in M20.
