Only a human can draw the blade?

[The Traveler]

For the first story arc a big to-do is made about the fact that only a human hand can draw the Lifedrinker's sword.

However, Silk has a scar like the one on Locus' hand, and is seen drawing a sword from it.

Is this a different sword? After all, Spook said that the scheme to steal the Lifedrinker's sword was one he and Isaac came up with together.

That is indeed a different sword. As Karrak told the Vamphyr, only angels use those swords anymore, which means Silk has a little secret.

I'll be going into it more as things progress.

Ooooh are Silk and Eden part angel?

[Adam Black]

They're both full-blood succubus, actually. In fact, there are only three cross-bred characters in this story, and we've seen all three already.

All three are half-human; two of these are also half-succubus. One of the three is, of course, Locus.

I almost made Silk and Eden half-something-or-other, but I figured three half-breeds were enough.

Note that this post will come back to haunt me at some point, because I'm lying a little bit (in two places). But if I told the whole truth, I'd give everything away. Besides, one of these little white lies is known only by one character right now. Everyone else believes its true at this point.

It's complicated.
