	- '''[[Yasnic\|Maric Jack]] / [[Yasnic\|Devil Jack]]''' - In ''House of Open Wounds'' she is a refuge and confidante to the newly flogged Maric Jack, discovering a shared Ilmar background; she finds him "mild and pleasant and helpful, if a bit wet" and "slightly endearing" despite her sworn rule against feeling anything for a man in uniform. By ''Pretenders to the Throne Of God'' she is his mistress, master, and deliberate corruptor, teaching conjuration "drop by drop to see how much she can break," calling him "child" while he calls her "Auntie."

She resolves to keep sharpening him: If she twisted Jack just right she could cut open the world. - House of Open Wounds, ch 7, 25, 49; Pretenders to the Throne Of God, ch 5, 10, 15, 39		* '''[[Yasnic\|Maric Jack]] / [[Yasnic\|Devil Jack]]''' - In ''House of Open Wounds'' she is a refuge and confidante to the newly flogged Maric Jack, discovering a shared Ilmar background; she finds him "mild and pleasant and helpful, if a bit wet" and "slightly endearing" despite her sworn rule against feeling anything for a man in uniform.
