“Stanley”

A kusarikku who confronted Marshall and Mitch at the Stanley Hotel in Estes Park, Colorado, during the Carnival of Knowledge. His masters apparently sent him to History A in the ‘20s to capture Harry Houdini, who had stolen some proscribed bit of secret lore concerning transposition of material objects. By the time Marshall and Mitch encountered him, “Stanley” was old, grey, and tired — decades in History A, unable to achieve his assigned task, had taken a tremendous toll on him. Ultimately, he was returned to History B during a subduction event sparked by Marshall and Mitch’s Houdini séance.
