Grimmer was actually captured in battle when he was weakened by a traitorous turn by his cohort. What is a Warlock? That’s the common use term that Stanford Holds people use to call anyone who is a demon slayer, although they also call them Shadowchasers or Demon Hunters, and the Yarian people call them “Diabolists.” Warlocks use magical glyphs and chain them together into actively magical wards. Typically the glyphs are drawn upon the air with coldfire, although sometimes they are carved into rock or wood. Warlocks can summon, banish, control, and otherwise deal with demons and infernal energies. She has Silver Blood, which means she can manipulate the Glamourie. Not many people do (although her husband does, and her Queen and King do). What can the Glamourie do? Minor shapeshifting, light effects, illusions, enchanting others / specificially other Lunargenti and other powers. There is Silver Glamourie and Gold Glamourie, and apparently Gold can do some protective and healing effects as well. The “May Babies” incident refers to a tale in Arthurian legend where, because it was foretold that he would be slain by a baby born in May, Arthur sent his knights to kill all of the babies born in that month. Same thing happened during the Trium War and babies with Silver Blood. Basically, a Lothasian ritual of naming was changed to add a part that would detect Silver Blood, and if any of the Lothasian priests discovered a child with silver blood, they would report this up the chain of command and the child would be found and put to death. This was all part of the Trium Duke’s protectivist paranoia. Because Seauclaire is many-souled, only one of her souls is Demonic, and one other is Silver Blooded, the rest are not. This is how she has hid her essential nature from others. It is also how she avoids being charmed or enchanted: if she senses that someone is trying to charm her, she switches personas and immediately becomes someone different, someone who is not charmed.
