Meet the Staff (Part 5)

Hello readers!  With rumors of apocalyptic wrath from beings of questionable existence and Super Wizard assignments out of the way, things can get back to some semblance of normalcy again!  Let's do another Meet the Staff.  For this entry, we'll be discussing what many of the Super Wizards refer to as the Tower's very own League of Evil.

Frank Stein: Frank Stein is less part of the League of Evil and more...one of their biggest victims.  As the Tower janitor, Frank has become a tragic reminder of the importance of reading your contract exceedingly carefully.  This is especially true when the contract is drafted by our Tower Lawyer (see below).

As stated above, Frank is the Tower janitor, and has been for...a considerable amount of time.  No one's really sure how long, and Frank has been somewhat less than willing to talk about it since about the time his lower jaw went missing.  Sometime after losing yet another janitor to the various deadly challenges of Super Wizard life, the Tower accountant met with the Tower lawyer to find a solution.  They decided that the next janitor they were to hire would have it in his contract that he consented being raised as a zombie if/when he died, and this would be repeated "as many times as necessary."  At least the benefits seem to be pretty good, he never needs to worry about getting sick in his current state!

Robert Baron:  Robert Baron is the Tower accountant, and rumor has it that he was a generous, good man at one point.  Such is the sinister* nature of accounting that he has been twisted into the wretched, withered, evil thing that he is today.  Refered by most simply as the Tower accountant, Robert Baron decides on the allocation of funds and negotiates payments between the council and the various forces that Super Wizards work with.  He also keeps track of the casually quota.  It's unknown who decides on the quota or what the repercussions are should it ever be exceeded.

He's also not very well liked.
*Sinister, but necessary.

The Tower Lawyer:  The Tower Lawyer is a being so secretive that few outside the Council have ever actually seen their face.  Many things about the Tower Lawyer are unknown, such as their gender, their appearance, or really...anything.  There are plenty of rumors that circulate about them, everything from those that say they operate out of somewhere in the kitchen* to others that say they're not human, but fae**.
*Some that hold to this speculate that they're the source of the Kitchen being what it is.
**Plausible, as the Fae do make exceptionally good lawyers.  As all are no doubt very aware, however, fae are forbidden to practice law in human society.
