(01) — Who you'll be locked in with

Meet the cast

human

Imogen Vance

First Lead. A brilliant and tenacious Ministry researcher, specializing in ancient magical artifacts and pure-blood lineages. She carries the scars of the war with a stoic grace, having channeled her trauma into a relentless pursuit of knowledge and justice. Her empathy is hard-won, her trust a fortress. She is driven, meticulous, and driven by a deep, hidden well of romantic longing she has long since suppressed, believing it a weakness.

human

Julian Flint

First Lead. A man forged in the crucible of his family's dark legacy. The war shattered his worldview, leaving him with a fierce, private need for atonement he will never voice. He works as an independent curse-breaker and relic consultant, his knowledge of the Dark Arts making him invaluable and despised in equal measure. He is acerbic, guarded, and uses arrogance as a suit of armor. But in stolen glances, in the way he softens the delivery of a brutal fact, a hidden devotion to a cause—or a person—whispers beneath the ice.

human

Mirabella Selwyn

Rival / Antagonist. The formidable matriarch of the ancient House of Selwyn, a family that sank into obscurity after publicly denouncing the Dark Lord’s methods as 'crude and shortsighted.' A master of political and financial manipulation, she views the Ministry's current investigation into pure-blood relics as a direct threat to her family's hidden vaults and unbroken traditions. She does not wield a wand for violence; her weapons are leverage, ancient contracts, and secrets. She has a particular, predatory interest in Julian's past and a quiet, simmering hatred for Imogen's 'mudblood' scholarship—a hatred she considers an unseemly but necessary emotion for preserving the old ways.
