Cortana

*This article uses material from the “Cortana" article on the Shadowhunter wiki at FANDOM and is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution Share-Alike License.*

**Cortana** is a shortsword that has been passed down through many generations of the Carstairs family, having been in the family for many centuries.

## Description

Cortana is a shortsword with a simple and bare blade, save for the inscription that runs down the metal of the blade and describes its legendary forging, "of the same steel and temper as Joyeuse and Durendal." It apparently has a feather from the wing of an Angel on its hilt.

While it was in Elias' possession, the sword was in a scabbard covered in intricate designs of leaves and runes—the same design that also covered the sword's hilt.

## History

Cortana was forged by the first Shadowhunter weapons maker, Wayland the Smith, tempered with the same steel as Joyeuse, Charlemagne's sword, and Durendal, Roland's sword. It was once the sword of Ogier the Dane. According to the faerie Gwyn the Hunter, it is considered one of the Great Swords.

Jonah Carstairs inherited the family sword in the 1800s. Before his death, he instructed his brother, Elias, to give Cortana to his son, Jem, when he turns 18. However, upon finding out that Jem had become a Silent Brother and can no longer accept gifts, Elias decided to give the sword to Will, Jem's *parabatai*. Offended by how Elias seemed to be referring to Jem as if he were dead, Will refused the gift. After he stormed off, Tessa Gray suggested to Elias that if he one day decided to have his own children, he could give the sword to them. When he eventually did have his own children, he passed the sword down onto them.

One of the eventual wielders of the sword, John Carstairs, believed that the inscription was meant to remind them that Shadowhunters are the Angel's weapons, and that trials make them stronger. After his death in 2007, the sword was passed down to his only child and the only remaining heir to the sword, Emma Carstairs.

The sword has been said to have the power to cut through anything. In 2012, the sword, wielded by Emma, was able to kill one of the Seven Riders of the Unseelie King, a feat that had never been done before. Cortana also managed to shatter a Mortal Instrument, specifically the Mortal Sword.

## Known Owners

* Jonah Carstairs
* Elias Carstairs
* Alastair Carstairs
* Cordelia Carstairs
* John Carstairs
* Zara Dearborn
* Emma Carstairs (current)

## Trivia

* Cortana, to a certain extent, chooses its owner.
Lightwood Family Ring

*This article uses material from the "Lightwood family ring" article on Shadowhunters Wiki at FANDOM and is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution Share-Alike License.*

**The Lightwood Family Ring** is a silver ring worn as an heirloom by the members of the Lightwood family. In the center of the ring is the letter "L" surrounded by flames, the Lightwood family symbol, which is etched around the outer surface.

## History

The Lightwood ring was worn in 1878 by Gideon Lightwood. When the members of the London Institute came to try and blackmail Benedict Lightwood, Gideon allied himself with the Institute. When Benedict told him that doing so would be turning his back on his family, Gideon took off the ring and left it on Benedict's desk.

As of 2007, Isabelle Lightwood is known to be in possession of a Lightwood ring and, as of 2012, her brother Alec also has a copy of the ring (though his has a number of enchantments placed on it by his warlock husband Magnus Bane).

## Trivia

* Stevie Herondale is in possession of a Lightwood family ring in honor of his *parabatai's* (Eli Lightwood) family. He wears it on a chain around his neck.
* Eli and Gina Lightwood also possess a Lightwood family ring.
* Cece Lightwood Blackthorn-Penhallow possesses a Lightwood family ring in honor of her father's family.
Elapid

*This article uses material from the "Elapid” article on the Shadowhunter wiki at FANDOM and is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike License.*

**Elapid demons** are massive, snake-headed demons with thick, scaled bodies. Their bodies are jointed, insectile, and have a dozen skittering legs that end in jagged claws. Their heads are hooded and their neck flattens out like a cobra's. Yellow venom drips from their fangs, and their green-black ichor burns whatever it touches.

## History

During a visit to Prague, a swarm of Elapids attacked Sebastian, Clary, and Jace - most, if not all, which of the trio managed to destroy.
Xoblob

Xoblob's true appearance

**Xoblob** is a parasitic beholder-kin and minor antagonist in Act 1 of the Tides of Time Saga. He is played by killbud.

## Description

### Appearance

Xoblob's appearance is similar to that of an average beholder with a few acute differences. His skin is smoother, and he only has six eye tendrils instead of the usual ten--the others being transformed into illithid-like tentacles. All of his pupils are white instead of colored, similar to a blind man's eyes.

### Personality

Xoblob is aloof and chaotic, with manipulative and deceptive tendencies. He is comfortable in inhabiting other creatures and using them as puppets to his fun; stretching the truth, omitting details, and pretending to be of lower intelligence in order to play games with those around him.

His favorite color has proven to be purple, as evident by his preference for the color in the Old Xoblob Shop along with the color scheme of his internal mindscape.

## History

It is unclear when or how Xoblob was created, however he's mentioned that a deep gnome in the Undermountain was affected by Gas Spores and came back to Waterdeep carrying the parasite and believing himself to be Xoblob.

### The Old Xoblob Shop

Within Waterdeep, Xoblob spent a lot of time in his deep gnome victim running the Old Xoblob Shop within the Dock Ward. This shop harbored many small purple trinkets and oddities--likely stolen from the trashcans of Waterdeep. This shop also harbored Xoblob Jr., who held an unusual favoritism with the mindwitness. It is inclear when and how Xoblob came to found the plushie dragon, aside from a mention that he found him in the Underdark.

### Xoblob Unleashed

When the Lif of the Party made their way into the Vault of Dragons, Xoblob somehow managed to follow along. In his deep gnome host, the parasite was weak and largely ignored by the party. However, this all changed when Anton and Levi went to negotiate with the dragon, Aurinax; where Xoblob managed to follow along. Here, Xoblob revealed his true form and attempted to take over the Adult Gold Dragon. However, his plans would be foiled by the tag team efforts of Anton and Levi along with some otherworldly help by an infernal third party. His plans foiled, Xoblob was then skewered and killed by Aurinax.
Vermithrall

*This article uses material from the “Vermithrall” article on the Shadowhunter wiki at FANDOM and is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike License.*

**Vermithrall** are worm demons that collect into colonies and form a humanoid, lumbering, monstrous mass of thousands of writhing worms that attack as a unified single entity. When separated from the colony, it will endeavor to rejoin the main body, making Vermithrall demons difficult to dispatch and kill.
Sensor

*This article uses material from the “Sensor” article on the Shadowhunter wiki at FANDOM and is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike License.*

**The Sensor** is a device that allows Shadowhunters to detect the presence of demonic frequencies or energies. It was invented by Henry Branwell in the late 1800s.

## Description

When in its ordinary metal and plastic form, it has buttons and delicate runes engraved all over it. The Sensor is part of the Shadowhunters' basic tools, as it alerts them to the presence of demons by vibrating, heating, or producing a clicking sound. Additionally, because of the runes on the Sensor, it can also be used for emergency combat with demons, as Clary Fray once managed to kill a Ravener demon by jamming the device into its mouth, making it choke on the device's runes.

However, the device cannot fully register the presence of Forsaken. The Sensor's response will also be stronger or more faint depending on the power or distance of the demon frequency it picks up. It can also overlook the presence of demons when their ethereal forms are in different dimensions, like when the Greater Demon Abbadon hid behind the entrance to the Portal in Madame Dorothea's apartment.

## History

By 1878, Henry Branwell was already working on the Sensor and has even mentioned several times that he almost has it working. Eventually, Henry did perfect it, and Shadowhunters, at one point, began using it as a day-to-day tool for hunting demons.
Hunger

*This article uses material from the “Hunger” article on the Shadowhunter wiki at FANDOM and is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike License.*

**Hunger** is an obese, devil-like humanoid Greater Demon that devours everything it encounters. Its body is covered in hard, bony scales and a variety of chomping fanged mouths.
Ravener

*This article uses material from the “Ravener" article on the Shadowhunter wiki at FANDOM and is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution Share-Alike License.*

**Ravener demons** demon assassins from the Shadow World. They can be summoned by warlocks to capture and attack enemies. They have minimal intelligence and travel in hordes.

## Description

A Ravener has a slimy, long, scaled, black body, a long black tongue, multiple legs and claws, and an insectile cluster of eyes set dead center on top of its long domed skull. It seems like a cross between an alligator and a centipede, with a thick, flat snout, serrated teeth, and a barbed tail that whips from side to side. It is also said to resemble a scorpion with its crabbed, evil face. It possesses a row of sharp fanged teeth, which envenomate their prey with a deadly toxin. In time, their poison burns away the life of the victim, leaving only ash behind.

It drools green saliva and can hang off of walls. Raveners are said to be stupid enough that they sometimes accidentally kill themselves by stabbing themselves in the neck with their tails.

## History

In August 2007, Valentine Morgenstern paid a warlock to summon a pack of Raveners. When he and his men ransacked Jocelyn's apartment in search of the Mortal Cup and failed to find it anywhere, he left behind a Ravener demon to guard the house. Upon Clary's return, the demon attacked her, and planned to kill and eat her, since he wasn't told that a girl was involved. Acting on instinct, Clary shoved Jace's Sensor down its throat, and it choked on the runes. Jace arrived at Clary's apartment shortly after and found Clary knocked out on the floor, lying in a pool of the demon's blood with the dead demon on top of her.

Later in September, during the fight on Valentine's ship, Jace, Alec, and Isabelle were attacked by a Ravener and a Drevak. Jace threw a seraph blade at the Ravener, detaching its poison sac which fell onto the Drevak's face and burst open, killing it in seconds. The Ravener bled to death immediately after, though its poison ate through the metal deck, causing Jace to fall into the belly of the ship.
Alliance Rune

*This article uses material from the "Alliance Rune" article on Shadowhunters Wiki at FANDOM and is licensed under the Creative Commons Attributions-Share Alike License.*

**The Alliance Rune** allows Shadowhunters and Downworlders to safely share each other's abilities, giving the Nephilim access to the strength, speed, and magical abilities of their Downworlder partners, and giving the Downworlders access to the warrior skills of their Nephilim allies.

## Description

The Mark itself is actually a matching pair of runes, each one meant to be drawn on each other by the partners intending to be bound. The runes are interchangeable between the Shadowhunter and Downworlder, and like most runes, it fades after use.

## History

Existing long before the Nephilim, the Alliance rune was not found in the Gray Book—or the Book of the Covenant bestowed upon the Nephilim.

In 2007, Clary Fray received an image of the rune through visions sent to her by Ithuriel, which she then later relayed to the other Shadowhunters and Downworlders. This rune helped them considerably in the battle against Valentine Morgenstern and his army of demons and helped the Nephilim and Downworlders turn the tide in their favor just before the Mortal War.

## Alliances

These are all the known alliances made with this rune:

* Alec Lightwood and Magnus Bane
* Jocelyn Fray and Luke Garroway
* Maryse Lightwood and a female faerie
* Patrick Penhallow and a warlock

## Trivia

* This is the only known rune other than the Mark of Cain that can be applied on Downworlders without the fatal consequences that usually result when Downworlders are Marked with angelic runes.

Shadow Market

This article *uses material from the “Shadow Market” article on the Shadowhunter wiki at FANDOM and is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike License.*

**Shadow Markets** are markets spread throughout the world frequented by denizens of the Shadow World, including Downworlders, Sighted mundanes, and witches.

In modern times, Shadow Markets sprung up in the aftermath of the Cold Peace as a way for Downworlders to do business away from the spotlight of the new Laws of Shadowhunters. In accordance with this, Shadowhunters are typically forbidden by their own laws from going to Shadow Markets.

## Known Shadow Markets

* Buenos Aires Shadow Market
* London Shadow Market
* Los Angeles Shadow Market
* New York Shadow Market
* Mysterious Merchants' Bazaar of the Bizarre (temporarily in 1936)
* Paris Shadow Market

Bex Lightwood (older sister)

Alec Lightwood (uncle)

Magnus Bane (uncle)

Max Lightwood-Bane (cousin)

Rafael Lightwood-Bane (cousin)

Maryse Lightwood (maternal grandmother)

Robert Lightwood (maternal grandfather)

**Georgina "Gina" Cecily Lightwood** is the third child of Isabelle and Simon Lightwood, and the younger sister of Eli and Bex Lightwood. She is best friends with Ella Herondale, and the two will likely become *parabatai.*

## Name & Etymology

Isabelle and Simon named their youngest child "Georgina" in honor of Simon's deceased best friend/brother figure who attended the Shadowhunter Academy in Idris with him, George Lovelace. Her middle name, Cecily, was after a Lightwood/Herondale ancestor, Cecily Lightwood (nee Herondale).

Georgina is the feminine form of George. The name comes from the Greek word γεωργός(γέω,"earth"+έργο,"work"), meaning farmer.

The name Cecily is of Latin origin meaning "blind."

## Early Life

Gina was born a year after Ella Herondale was in 2015, eight years after the Mortal War ended. At the time of her birth, Ella was a year old, Emmy, Stevie, Eli, and Max were six, and Rafael was eight. Growing up, she was close with Ella, who was her best friend.

## Physical Appearance

Gina is very tall (like her mother), and is 4'8. She looks like a mini Isabelle, having brown eyes and dark brown hair. Her hair falls to her mid-back, and is wavy.

## Personality

Gina is a lot like her mother, being as fashionable as she is fierce. Jace often jokes that it's like having a second Izzy in the world, and that he wouldn't be surprised if Gina had an affinity for knives and whips. Like her father, however, she is a little bit nerdy and loves *Star Wars* and video games. She can be a little bit awkward at times like her brother.

## Trivia

* Simon taught her how to play guitar from a young age. Both her, Simon, and Eli play.
* She loves Star Wars and mundane video games.
* Emmy says that it's not uncommon to hear noises of Gina playing video games at midnight or even later.
* In early plans, she did not exist and Eli was an only child.
Hydra

*This article uses material from the “Hydra” article on the Shadowhunter wiki at FANDOM and is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike License.*

**Hydra demons** are multi-headed demons often used as guardians.

## Description

Hydras are medium-sized, vicious, unintelligent, and blind, and thus rely on sound, scent, and their sheer number of large mouths to catch their prey.

Hydras have dark green flesh, thick black tongues, and enormous gaping jaws from which green drool drips. They have at least three heads, but often have more. They are distinguished from other multi-headed demons by the fact that their heads are mounted on necks that look like thick, swaying stalks.

## History

A three-headed Hydra was guarding the Church of Talto in 2007 when Clary Fray came in to investigate. Clary struck one of the Hydra's necks with the cult's athame, but it quickly healed from the non-lethal blow as the blade was un-Marked. With her stele, Clary Marked the athame with an enkeli rune, dissolving its occult symbols, and threw the dagger at the demon, striking the middle head deep and right in the center of the skull.

The middle head simply dropped, but the demon remained intact, dragging the dead head along with it. Clary tried to escape, to no avail as the fast demon blocked her way out. The two remaining heads attempted to strike at her but were stopped by Isabelle Lightwood, who lassoed the heads with her whip, cutting both off instantly. The headless demon promptly disappeared, back to its home dimension.
Laeral Silverhand

Laeral Silverhand's appearance as Open Lord of Waterdeep

Redirect

**Laeral Silverhand** is a powerful spellcaster, leader, and magic item maker in the Forgotten Realms. She currently rules as the Open Lord of Waterdeep. Within the Tides of Time Saga, she is played by killbud.

Anamanué Laeral Silverhand was born in the Year of the Cowl (765 DR), the fifth of seven daughters of the goddess Mystra. Each of the Seven Sisters is a powerful and ageless beauty with a penchant for arcane magic.

Long ago, Laeral ruled a kingdom called Stornanter and held the title of Witch-Queen of the North. After that, she led a band of adventurers called the Nine. She met and married Khelben Arunsun, who would later become the Blackstaff, the Lord Mage of Waterdeep. After Khelben died, Laeral retired from public life. She resurfaced after the Spellplague and the Sundering, weakened by Mystra’s death, rebirth, and withdrawal from the world.

Laeral’s magic isn’t as great as it once was, though she does her utmost to hide this fact. Only Elminster, her trusted friend and advisor, knows the extent of her decline. Despite her diminished abilities, Laeral remains a formidable, clear-headed wizard with plenty of magic at her disposal.

A few years ago, Dagult Neverember was ousted as Open Lord of Waterdeep. Laeral reluctantly stepped into the vacancy at the request of the Masked Lords, and has served as Waterdeep’s Open Lord ever since. Initially overwhelmed by the demands of the nobles and guildmasters, she has settled nicely into her new role. She uses her magic sparingly and relies on trusted advisors and deputies. As time allows, she likes to venture outside the Palace of Waterdeep in disguise, just to clear her head or check up on old friends (and enemies).

Laeral’s relationship with Vajra Safahr, the current Blackstaff, has its challenges. For one thing, Laeral is much older, much wiser, and much more powerful than Vajra, whom she views as an insecure child. In addition, Vajra wields the Blackstaff, which has Khelben Arunsun’s soul and the souls of all the other Blackstaffs bound inside it. Laeral covets the staff, because it contains all that’s left of her husband. Not surprisingly, the two mages avoid each other as much as possible.

In times of great need, Laeral can command Vajra to unleash Force Grey. Until that order is given, Force Grey isn’t allowed to conduct operations in Waterdeep, though Laeral’s spies tell her that Vajra has secretly activated members of the elite order and sent them on a number of unauthorized missions. Laeral is reluctant to confront Vajra on the matter, and rationalizes her inaction by framing it as a test of Vajra’s competence.
Archlich Tecton

**Archlich Tecton** is an undead lich and author of several journals involving forbidden incantations, black magic, and diabolical research. He has never appeared in any campaign, but his journals and research are dotted throughout both the Ancient Greece campaign and the Tides of Time Saga. He is voiced and played by killbud. In total, he has 273 journals.

## Journal Spottings: 3/273

* Journal #1: Thanos Session #0 -- Thanos discovered the introduction to Tecton's work, which he used to learn a trump card spell for his Wizard College final.
* Journal #8: Ancient Greece #8 -- This book was discovered in the libraries of Troy by the Ancient Greece party. It seemed to cover the general topic of the pit of Tartarus.
* Journal #16: Tides of Time Saga -- Discovered in the Book Wyrm's Treasure bookstore by Anne.
Lucifer

*This article uses material from the “Lucifer” article on the Shadowhunter wiki at FANDOM and is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike License.*

**Lucifer** is a Greater Demon and one of the Princes of Hell. He was once counted among the greatest of archangels. Powerful but proud, Lucifer led an army of dissident angels against God and was cast out of Heaven and into the depths of Hell for his crime by Michael.

## History

Religiously, Lucifer is believed among most humans to be the supreme spirit of evil, often represented in Jewish and Christian belief as the tempter of humankind, the leader of all apostate angels, and the ruler of Hell and its demons.

Lucifer was an archangel and beloved by God. He was created as a high authority in Heaven to give the light of God's presence to the lesser angels. When God created humanity and called them his greatest creation, commanding that his angels bow down to them, Lucifer refused and grouped other angels together before causing a Civil War in Heaven.

Lucifer and his fellow insurgents fought against the forces of loyal angels led by the Archangel Michael. Lucifer and his forces were defeated and cast into the Void. By God's authority, they were banned from returning to Heaven forever, and Lucifer became among the greatest of the Princes of Hell.

## Trivia

* Morgenstern is another word meaning "morning star" - incidentally, another name for Lucifer.
* According to Malcolm Fade, because of Lucifer's fame, he is very hard to reach, rarely does favors for anyone, and is thus an unrewarding considered demon to worship.
* Names for Lucifer include Devil, Morning Star, Light Bringer, and Satan.
Praetor Lupus

*This article uses material from the "Praetor Lupus" article on the Shadowhunter Wiki at FANDOM and is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike License.*

**Praetor Lupus** is an alliance of werewolves founded by Woolsey Scott in the 1800s. It literally means "Wolf Guardians," and is based on the Praetorians, an elite Roman military force. The Praetor is the first and largest self-policing organization among the Downworlders.

## Purpose

Members of the Praetor Lupus track down young "orphaned" Downworlders—newly Turned werewolves, fledgling vampires, and warlocks who have no knowledge of their people and/or what they are. They intervene before the new Downworlder can get violent, try to get them into a pack, a clan, or with a warlock mentor, and help them learn to control their powers.

Some of the saved werewolves prefer to not join a pack, and instead, join the alliance and become Praetorians themselves. In turn, they are eventually given charges and dispatched to guide other Downworlders, as well, though they are allowed to return to the Praetor House, where they trained and lodged during their rehabilitation. Praetorian guards wear gold medallions around their necks, with a pattern of leaves on it, an imprint of a wolf's paw, and an engraving of the organization's slogan "Beati bellicosi," which means "Blessed are the warriors."

Despite the organization's goals, the members are not allowed to get directly involved in the affairs of other Downworlders and Shadowhunters.

## History

The Praetor began as a tiny force in London in the late nineteenth century. The founder, Woolsey Scott, was a wealthy werewolf who began the organization in memory of his brother, Ralf, whose dying wish had been to start an institution to help take care of orphaned Downworlders. Woolsey was admittedly not interested at first but ultimately came around after Ralf's death.

After the death of most of its members at the headquarters in New York in 2007, the Consul, Jia Penhallow, in hopes of restarting the defunct organization, sent Maia Roberts the seal of the head of the Praetor Lupus, with the message "Begin again," entrusting her with the responsibility of leading the reformed organization. As a part of the Shadowhunters' treaty with the Fair Folk, the latter would also provide assistance in the group's rebuilding. Maia has since taken over as the head and was able to reestablish it with help from people like Bat Velasquez and certain members of the Clave behind her. She is still running the organization as of 2012.

## Known Members

* Woolsey Scott (founder) †
* Praetor Scott †
* Jordan Kyle †
* Rufus Hastings †
* Nick †
* Maia Roberts (head)
* Bat Velasquez

## Trivia

* The regulation outfit of the Praetor is seemingly all black.
* According to Clary's notes on her copy of the Shadowhunter's Codex, Jordan told her that the organization is only secretive with the Clave in particular. He also said that the Praetor was originally about saving werewolves from being killed, by mundanes or the conditions they live in because of their condition.
Rahab

*This article uses material from the “Rahab” article on the Shadowhunter wiki at FANDOM and is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike License.*

**Rahab demons** are a type of lesser demon.

## Description

Rahab demons are large bipedal demons that look and move slightly like lizards. They are blind; they have no eyes and instead has a row of serrated teeth on its forehead, or on the spot where their eyes should be. Its two sets of mouths are fanged and tusked. They are armed with sharp teeth, talons, and a long, forked tongue tipped with a bulb-shaped stinger. They also have a long, narrow, whip-like tail edged with razor-sharp bone.

Because of their lack of sight, the demon, with its snout, relies on its sense of smell to track its prey.

## History

In 2007, Rahab demons were among the demons Valentine Morgenstern summoned to invade Alicante. One of them broke into Aline Penhallow's house and pulled her out into the streets. While outside, Aline was knocked to the ground by the demon which then attempted to rape her. Isabelle Lightwood arrived just in time and stopped the demon. When it fled, Aline chased it down and killed it.

A Rahab demon was summoned by the Crimson Hand the same year. It guarded the villa used by the cult for its meeting before it was dispatched by Aline, Helen, and Alec. Aline was still visibly shaken by her encounter with the Rahab demon just weeks before, making her more determined to kill it.
Shadowhunter's Codex

*This article uses material from the “Shadowhunter's Codex" on the Shadowhunter Wiki at FANDOM and is licensed under the Creative Commons Attributions Share-Alike License.*

**The Shadowhunter's Codex** is a book that guides potential new Shadowhunters in the ways of the Nephilim and the Shadow World. Every Institute has a copy.

## Description

The Codex is a sort of textbook for new Shadowhunters, containing many stories about the Nephilim's history: the story of Jonathan Shadowhunter and how the Shadowhunters came to be, the creation of the Silent Brothers, the invention of *parabatai* and much more. It contains introductory information about Downworlders, demons, Shadowhunters' places and territories such as Idris and Alicante.
Dantalion

*This article uses material from the “Dantalion” article on the Shadowhunter wiki at FANDOM and is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike License.*

**Dantalion demons** are a type of ghoul-type demon - demons that feed on the dead.

## Description

Dantalion demons are creatures made up of grayish, pulsing, jumbled internal organs, pus, and blood, and a single yellow, weeping eye. They are about the size of a large dog. Their mouth looks like a slick black tunnel lined with teeth beneath the bundle of organs. They are able to use their body as appendages, using these extensions to grab their victims.

They are considerably strong, able to physically pull grown humans and also able to withstand warlock magic, though this is also typical as most demons can only be dispelled with *adamas* weapons—basically weapons such as seraph blades that can only be used by Shadowhunters. When struck with other blades, the Dantalion's body would simply absorb the weapon and can shoot them back out.

## History

In 2007, Catarina Loss found a Dantalion feeding on corpses at the morgue of the Beth Israel Hospital. Because all the Shadowhunters of New York had evacuated to Idris, she called the local groups of vampires and werewolves for assistance. She first contacted Malcolm Fade, who went to the leaders of the New York vampire clan and werewolf pack, Lily Chen and Maia Roberts, respectively.

Lily, Maia, and Bat Velasquez arrived with a large, warlock-strengthened cage. Lily was astonished by the demon's monstrous appearance. The Downworlders had difficulty vanquishing the demon because they had no weapons that could defeat the creature. They only managed to subdue it with Catarina's magic and Bat quickly locking it in the cage.

Lily saw this as an opportunity and took a video of the encounter to share with other Downworlders as proof that they needed the Nephilim and thus could not afford to side with Sebastian Morgenstern in the impending war. The demon then taunted them by saying that he did not expect Shadowhunters to last for long as Sebastian was going to attack Alicante the following day and would annihilate them.
Raum

*This article uses material from the “Raum” article on the Shadowhunter wiki at FANDOM and is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike License.*

**Raum demons** are demons whose most dangerous weapon are their tentacles - slick, gray-white, and tipped with red suckers, each of which contains a cluster of tiny, poisonous needle-like teeth. Their poison is slightly more complex than a Drevak sting but still manageable.

## Description

Intimidating and dangerous, Raum demons are clever opponents despite being incapable of speech and generally unintelligent. Raums are the size of an elongated human and possess white, scaled skin, bulging black, toad-like, pupil-less eyes, a perfectly circular mouth. Raums make distressed, hooting noises, move incredibly fast and are known to be retriever demons.

## History

Valentine Morgenstern once summoned Raum demons and sent two of them to Luke's home to retrieve the werewolf Maia Roberts. They attacked Luke on his lawn and knocked him out, bringing him to the waterfront across the street from his house. Jace's Sensor detected their presence, and Clary noticed their movement by the bank of the East River. Jace tortured one, threatening to strike its heart, which Valentine taught him when he was young, to tell him Valentine's location, and the other escaped into the river just as Clary drew her seraph blade to fight it. Luke then realized that the demon might still be looking for Maia.

There were also Raums among the myriad of demons summoned and kept aboard Valentine's ship.

Weeks later, while walking up to Luke's house, Clary reminisced with Simon their first encounter with the demons.
Aletheia Crystal

*This article uses material from the “Aletheia Crystal” article on the Shadowhunter wiki at FANDOM and is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike License.*

**An aletheia crystal** is a crystal used to hold memories.

## Description

*Aletheia* crystals are many-faceted crystals the size of a child's hand. They have a smooth, stone-like surface.

## Function

*Aletheia* crystals are used to capture, store, and even physically transport the stored memories. When the crystal is dormant, the memories contained within it flash across its surface. Once activated through a Latin incantation, the crystal begins to glow until it releases a focused beam of light, which acts as a projector and casts moving images across a nearby wall. The held memories can either be viewed on the projected image and on the stone's surface.

## History

In the past, around the 1800s, aletheia crystals were used by the Clave to hold evidence of memories.

In September 2012, an aletheia crystal was discovered at Blackthorn Hall by Ty, Livvy, and Kit. The crystal contained an unknown person's memories of Council meetings regarding Annabel Blackthorn in the early 19th century.

## Trivia

* *Aletheia* crystals appear to darken the room they are in when activated, as the one found in Blackthorn Hall extinguished surrounding candles when activated by the warlock Shade; however, this could also only have been due to the warlock's magic.
* Aletheia crystals are named after the Greek goddess of truth, Aletheia.
Gray Book

**The** **Gray Book**, formally The Book of Gramarye, is a tome that contains an exact replica of the original Book of the Covenant, in which the Angel Raziel inscribed the runes, or Marks, the Nephilim are permitted to use.

There are only a few copies of the book, as each has to be specially made by Silent Brothers, particularly because it requires special paper to withstand the power of the runes. The High Warlock of Brooklyn, Magnus Bane, and every Institute each have their own copy of the book.

All young Shadowhunters learn the Marks from this book. Because of the fragility of the human mind, most Shadowhunter children grow up learning one rune from the Book at a time over a period of years. Reading too many runes at once would apparently give the reader a headache.

## Trivia

* Gramarye means "magic" or "hidden wisdom." The "Book of Raziel" from Jewish mysticism is said to be a distorted version of the Gray Book.
* The Gray Book, despite its name, is green.

Jasher Lead-Tongue

Jasher's appearance in the Tides of Time Saga

**Jasher Lead-Tongue** is a human bloodhunter of the Order of the Lycan and a core member of the Ancient Greece party. He is played by theashenangel in the Ancient Greece campaign, and later shows up as a NPC played by killbud in the Tides of Time Saga.

## Description

### Appearance

Jasher's appearance in the Ancient Greece campaign is almost that of a corpse. His skin is so pale it is almost translucent thanks to the spirit Jasher harbors within him. He first appears at a young age of 21, with dark brown hair and hetero eyes; one an emerald green and the other an amber gold. For clothing, Jasher prepared for traveler's comfort; lots of leathers, coats, and layers.

#### Tides of Time Saga

When Jasher reappears in the Tides of Time Saga, he is considerably aged. Instead of his young 21 appearance, he appears to be a middle-aged man around his 50's. His hair is no longer brown but white, his skin is more tanned, and his emerald green eye is now white and blinded.

### Personality

Jasher is an adventurer and scholar at heart. He has a scientific lust for knowledge and wishes to explore, observe, and interact with the unknown and magical elements of the world. However, Jasher is skittish, shy, and extremely reserved to his books. This un-charismatic combo landed him the title "Lead-Tongue", since he wouldn't really talk to anyone in his town.

## History

### Tides of Time Saga

Jasher reappeared in the Tides of Time Saga when his greek ship showed up in thunderous applause at the edge of Waterdeep's ports. Not much is known yet about Jasher, except that he is in an ancient greek ship with a pet hydra. In addition, it seems his appearance has been expected by some of the other greek heroes.

## Skills and Abilities

In the Ancient Greece campaign, Jasher was a level 6 bloodhunter of the Order of the Lycan when in his prime. In Tides of Time Saga, his abilities are still largely unknown; except for the following speculated abilities:

**Immortal Form:** Jasher's appearance in Ancient Greece and the modern Waterdeep make him extremely old, surviving more than 2,000 years without seemingly aging more than 50 years. This points to him having a form either resistant or immune to Time's grasp.

**Master of Monsters:** In Jasher's resurgence, he possesses a pet Hydra at his side. Exhibiting great control over such a powerful monster hints at Jasher's new abilities to tame and master monstrous races.

**Spacial Travel:** In his appearance, Jasher's ship is summoned to Waterdeep through unnatural thunderous force, thus showing some semblance of spacial teleportation.

**Sun God's Kin:** It is well known that Jasher is related to the ancient God of the Sun, Apollo. This could be affecting Jasher's other abilities and giving him more ontop.
Marbas

*This article uses material from the “Marbas” article on the Shadowhunter wiki at FANDOM and is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike License.*

**Marbas** was a Greater Demon who was trapped in a Pyxis by Edmund Herondale.

## History

Marbas was a known cunning creature who has fooled many powerful magicians. When the Shadowhunter Edmund Herondale was fourteen years old at around 1849, Marbas was defeated by the Shadowhunter and trapped in a Pyxis.

Marbas spent nearly twenty years in the Pyxis until Edmund's son, Will, accidentally released him. Marbas expressed his desire to kill Edmund, but since he was not there, he settled for the children in front of him. Will's sister Ella fought him, and Marbas stung her with his poison, killing her hours later. Before he left, he told Will that he had cursed him so that everyone who loves him would die.

Years later, Marbas went to Benedict Lightwood's ball and was attacked by Will. He wounded Will and escaped, leaving behind a tooth in Will's wound. With this, Magnus Bane summoned him and asked him to remove Will's curse. Marbas then revealed that he was in fact unable to cast the curse, as he had been at his weakest. Magnus banished him after. Magnus has since been credited as his "destroyer."

## Physical Description

Marbas is a short demon with reptilian features, blue scales, scarlet eyes, a flat snakelike snout, and a long, yellowish barbed tail with a stinger on the end.
Abbadon

*This article uses material from the “Abbadon” article on the Shadowhunter wiki at FANDOM and is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike License.*

**Abbadon** is a Greater Demon from Hell. Abbadon is considered one of the Ancients; he is referred to as the Lord of the Fallen and the Demon of the Abyss. He rules the Void - the empty spaces between the worlds and has control over the wind and the "howling darkness."

## Known History

In 2007, Abbadon killed and possessed Madame Dorothea in her own apartment when she opened the Portal her mother had been protecting. He then hid the majority of its ethereal form just outside the Portal, making him undetectable by the Shadowhunters' Sensor.

When Clary Fray, Jace Herondale, Alec, and Isabelle Lightwood came to retrieve the Mortal Cup, the demon confronted the group, wanting the Cup for himself to give to Valentine. In the battle, the demon gravely injured Alec, infecting him with demon poison. Simon Lewis used Alec's bow and arrow to break the skylight, allowing sunlight to burn Abbadon, sending him back to the Void.

## Physical Description

Abbadon was said to have been at least nine feet tall in its corporeal form. It slightly resembled a rotting human skeleton: it had livid and bruised-looking flesh, a misshapen head, a skull for its face with caved-in holes for its eyes and a nose, two rows of jagged glass-sharp teeth, and black, cracked, and filthy bones that looked as if he was rotting and ancient. His taloned fingers were stripped and skeletal, his thin-fleshed arms pocked with oozing black sores through which more yellowing bone was visible. His hide was gray, with things seemingly crawling inside of it.

## Trivia

* Abbadon is powerful enough that his name may be invoked in rituals to compel demons.
Cristina's Medallion

*This article uses material from the “Cristina's medallion" on the Shadowhunter wiki on FANDOM and is licensed under the Creative Commons Attributions Share-Alike License.*

**Cristina's Medallion** is a golden religious Shadowhunter pedant worn by Cristina to symbolize her faith in the Angel Raziel. The medallion is consecrated to the Angel Raziel, denoting that the wearer's belief that the Angel was a living presence as opposed to a distant figure.

## Description

An image of Raziel is etched on the front, and a line on the back says, in Latin: "Blessed be the Angel my strength which teaches my hands to war, and my fingers to fight."

The medallion is a faerie charm, gifted to the Rosales family by the *hadas* (the faeries) they are connected to. The necklace has since become a family heirloom carried down through generations.

## Function

Cristina often looks to the medallion for support, touching it when she needs luck, bravery, or strength, or when she feels nervous.

The medallion also protects the wearer from the time differences between the mortal and faerie lands; the protection may also be extended to others if they stay close to the wearer of the medallion. It also allows non-faeries to take the moon's road into Faerieland, something which typically only those with faerie blood can do.

## Trivia

* The Latin words on its back were derived from the Bible, reworded to fit Shadowhunter religion.
Necromancy Map

*This article uses material from the "Necromancy map" article on the Shadowhunter wiki at FANDOM and is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution Share-Alike License.*

**A necromancy map** in the New York Institute was made by a group of individuals to detect dark magic activity in the world.

## Description

### Purpose

The map was built by the combined efforts of the Silent Brothers, including Brother Zachariah, and warlocks of the Spiral Labyrinth, including Catarina Loss and Magnus Bane. The map was created for the Clave, after the Dark War, to track and detect the use of dark magic—specifically necromancy, "energy raised from evil sources, Hell dimensions and the like, to draw power and extend life," similar to the kind that Sebastian Morgenstern used.

Locations where dark magic will flare up and be charted on the map, and powerful magic will set off an alarm. Because of its global nature, the magic used to make the map work involves the wards.

### Limitations

Magic done at convergence sites cannot be detected on the map. Faeries can be cloaked to not make it technically considered dark magic and may not show up on the map.

## History

In August 2012, Magnus and the others were alerted by least two instances of dark magic detected by the map. For the first, Magnus went to Los Angeles to to ask Malcolm Fade, and it was easily dismissed when Malcolm told him that it was just a rogue necromancer and had been handled.

The second was when Malcolm's entrance to the convergence site was destroyed, uncovering the longstanding dark magic activity and making it visible on the map. Magnus, Robert, Jace, and Clary responded to the flare-up.
