Thane

Djinn Captain of the Game

Role: Michael "Mack" Grady, Deputy Chief, Dallas Police Department

Thane is the ranking Servitor of the Game in Dallas. He is a Deputy Chief in the Dallas Police Department, in charge of the Assault Unit. This gives him an excellent Role for covering up celestial brawls, especially since he has many other members of the Investigations Bureau under his thumb... though not the Bureau Chief. As a highly-decorated police officer with an outstanding reputation for integrity, he is almost untouchable in Dallas. Other Asmodeans obey him without question, and no diabolics would dare to face his wrath.

The angels in Dallas know who he is. From time to time there has been talk of "taking him out," but the angels of Stone are against such a preemptive strike, and Paulinus considers it a last resort -- after all, better the devil you know...

Thane mostly covers for diabolics in Dallas, and manages Asmodeus's network of Soldiers and other minions who have infiltrated most of the local police departments. He doesn't do much investigative work himself; he'll certainly pursue any demon he suspects of wrongdoing, but more likely he'll assign one of the other Asmodeans to the case. The fact that he spends so much of his time actually fulfilling the functions of his Role means that, ironically, he doesn't catch a lot of traitors or dissonant demons, which means for the time being his upward mobility in Asmodeus's ranks is probably limited as well.

Thane is not a point of contact for angels who need to speak to the other side. He'll talk to any angel who approaches him, but he's very unlikely to be helpful.

As Mack Grady, the demon is a large, beefy black man with a football player's build and buzzcut hair, balding on top. He's physically intimidating and has a drill sergeant's temperament. Mack is married to a mortal woman named DeniseGrady.
