(1) POLICE REPORT ON AN ABANDONED APARTMENT, FILED AT LANDLORD'S REQUEST.
UNIT 116-B, MONROE STREET, PHOENIX, ARIZONA.

The unit in question is a studio apartment on the second floor of a residential complex, rented out to a woman named Lacey Manford. After the landlord reported that the premises seemed abandoned, raising questions of a disappearance, further investigation proved that Lacey Manford's ID and credentials presented at the lease signing were extremely skilled forgeries, and [REDACTED], the company she listed as her employer had never heard of any woman by that name. The apartment was investigated by squad #31.

Officer Roe entered the apartment ahead of his partner. The single room, which included a kitchenette with a small refrigerator and stove along the north wall, had been stripped bare of nearly all possessions. There was a large red rug covering most of the floor. Upon peeling a corner back, the officer discovered burn marks on the pine wood floor, and a trace amount of dirt and ash. There was a table pushed against the south wall, along with two chairs, and an empty bed frame against the east wall. A search of the bed frame revealed a hidden compartment, containing nothing.

In the meantime, Officer Perry investigated the apartment's bathroom. A careful search revealed several faint rings of unidentified substance around the rim of the sink, as well as one book, The Language of Morals, on a shelf behind the mirror. Nothing else was recovered from the apartment that could give a clue as to the subject's true identity or cause for disappearance. In lack of further evidence, the case is considered closed.

(5) AN INFORMAL NOTE IN AN A.M. MEMBER'S PERSONAL FILES:

"The Luca coven, more informally known as "Zeus", operates out of and around Astraia, focusing on the execution of justice and order. They are the "white knights", so to speak, and the term is not often used in praise. Their code is iron, their leader's vision of her ideals absolute--at least on the surface. Thalia's reasons for re-locating to this area and taking up a group-oriented life rather than her previous solitary existence of traveling America by herself, calmly putting down threats in cities across the country, is unknown (perhaps even to herself?), but it appear she's here to stay for the foreseeable future."

PLACE OF BIRTH, Detroit, USA.

FACE CLAIM, ONE PIECE, jewelry bonney — thalia de luca

INVENTORY, Thalia has three ear piercing in each ear, as well as an anti-eyebrow piercing below her right eye. Each jewelry piece is, of course, made of silver. She usually has a pack of cigarettes (American Spirits) and a lighter on her in purse as well as her wallet, a compact mirror, a philosophy book she shouldn't be reading, a few ballpoint pens, hair shine spray, and a pay as you go cellphone.

WEAPON, Thalia has a military grade automatic handgun, but she tends to use it very, very sparingly. Gunshots bring the wrong kind of attention. Her main weapon of choice is an iron glaive with a retractable eighteen inch steel blade. The pole of the glaive is capable of being dismantled into two three foot segments. She also has a half dozen silver throwing darts and a regular bowie knife.
