== Plot ==
Jean takes his new position to new powerful levels.
== Synopsis ==
Mordecai is meditating in an empty white room. His assistant enters with essentially a bill for him to pay the crown in order to maintain the prisoners. The Dark Elf vanishes and reappears on the top of the spire. He grapples down to the worst criminals and attempts to find Saint Hylophagous. His cell is empty so he speaks with two other prisoners. The first is a Mobster named Dhaxx, a Beholder. Aragi is a snitch. He betrayed the sanctity of the circus and exposed them to the military. The rest don’t know that yet though. He has a conversation with the few out of prison about the next step in their break out. Phylyco is not present. He is busy roaming the halls of the castle, looking for his target. He finds Dryadson’s room and spots a list of Slave traders in Aethel and pockets it. He then creeps over to the Elf’s bed and diminishes him. Mordecai demands answers from Dhaxx about the Saint. He doesn’t give him any. Mordecai in a huff blasts a hole into the wall of Dhaxx’s cell and the monstrosity escapes. The second person he speaks with is a Kenku named Shaver. He’s much more forthcoming with his information and basically confirms that the Saint was never in the spire. Mordecai opens his cell and leaves to find the Saint. 
Phylyco leaves and seeks out one of the slavers. He finds the goblin, Snailnose, and fakes a purchase. He frees a bunch of the slaves and lets them handle snailnose while he takes a few believable “soldiers” and goes back to the castle as Djazz. Mordecai returns to the castle and enters the dungeon below, convinced the Saint must be there. He instead finds Injun tied up in a cell. He is livid that this keeps happening and brings the abettor up to the council room to confront the Primarch about the Saint. 
Aragi and the others agree that they need to find out more information on Mordecai. He and Lyssaria decide it's best to go to his fortress and find out any information. They ride out and Aragi once again asks his mother what her connection to the circus is. She finally caves and tells him. She started S.H.A.D.O.W. with the Saint. He is flabbergasted. His suspicions only grow when she tells him that she and him were in a sort of relationship. The only reason he doesn’t flip out on her is because he also finds out that she is dying. Black lung. Hereditary. He is so confused and distraught but he knows deep down that she is being genuine. They ride the rest of the way in silence. Mordecai turns to the throne to confront Jean but sitting there instead is none other than Saint Hylophagous. They just stare at each other as Phylyco enters with his men. Hylophagous prepares to explain himself but Phylyco is having none of it and leaves. Mordecai sends Injun to get the captains and Primarch while he shares words with the Saint. They agree to stay out of each other’s way and Hylophagous exits through a portal. Right as he does, Jean and the others burst in. The Primarch demands to know where the Saint has gone and accuses Giantscrippler of allowing him to escape. The Dwarf attempts to rebuttal but the Primarch has the Abettor retrieve his rifle. He demands more respect from his captains and shoots him, calling him a traitor. The air is thick. He reaches for a drink and swallows purple worm poison. Before anyone can step in Phylyco appears from behind the throne and slams him blade through the back of Jean’s throat, killing him. Vargas jumps to save him but Mordecai knocks him out and gets him out of the area immediately. Phylyco takes the sigil and hands it to Delsin. He then takes the Abettor’s pin off his chest and gives it to Feyfinder. He looks Delsin deep in the eyes before walking out, his target eliminated. 
Aragi and Lyssaria arrive at the Silver Throne, fortress of the merchant king. They sneak in and attempt to find Mordecai’s quarters. They split up and Aragi finds another white room. Sitting in the middle is something covered by a sheet. He tentatively removes the cloth to find a small white Pseudo-Dragon in a cage. He attempts to speak with it and it introduces itself as Singula. He asks why it is being kept there and she tells him she “knows things”. He decides to set her free and they immediately bond. He intends to keep her as his own and leaves to find his mother once again.
