"Domingo Vargas. He’s a mage, a priest—and a consular official. Recently appointed to the Seattle consulate, just two weeks ago. I have a witness who places a consular car at the Charles Royer Station at about the time of the homicides, and he’s the only one of the Seattle diplomatic staff who has magical ability and who carries a macauitl as part of his ceremonial gear. He’s likely the one who killed and flayed the victims."
