* Valia, demon bound by Wolfgang I. Valia appears as a beautiful nude human with long black hair, a lithe tail, ebony horns sprouting from her head and curving back, and midnight-black with a white pupil. A creature from the Outside, and self-described as "not a succubus, incubus, fallen angel, fiend, or imp" who wishes to be useful and valuable to Richard so that Richard becomes more powerful and so does she by extension. Claims to be incapable of breaking a pact, but the pact must be agreed to by both parties. Has implied shapeshifting powers. She acts as the living indexing and retrieval system of the sealed infernalism vault. She cannot lie to Richard, but she does not have to respond, can answer with part of the truth (with restrictions), can't kill Richard, must attend him when summoned (if able), and must honor Richard's requests to access the items stored in the vault. In return, Richard must provide her the power she needs to maintain her existence on the Inside. Valia retains her autonomy of contract and deed, unless otherwise restricted by further negotiations, so long as her actions do not work against Richard -- except in the case of pacts with other magi, which she shall not make. She need not follow any command that would destroy her, or put her in a position where her destruction is inevitable. Thaddeus probably had a bad relationship with Valia, as he sought to replace her with a manual index.
