Grendel's Mother

A former cat burglar, Abigail met her future husband when she got stuck on a window sill whilst trying to escape his home.

Abigail has no doubts about Grendel's choice of friend/partner/footstool and actively works to bring the two together, which often causes the protagonist no end of problems. She also has another reason for trying to get the protagonist to join The Council : Abigail has a nagging feeling that the current timeline is wrong, and that the protagonist has been working for her at some point.

Whilst she likes protagonist (and has no problem showing it), she also has very willing to blackmail the him/her or use him/her as a guinea pig for any drugs that need testing. As the latter usually causes problems, she is, unlike Grendel, quite willing to compensate the protagonist for the trouble caused.

The relationship between Abigail and the protagonist can be rather testy, but Abigail just shrugs it off, as she knows how much trouble Grendel and herself can cause.

She is more than willing to go behind her husband's back in order make Grendel happy. This usually involves planning a secret birthday or Christmas event - often with the protagonist's help.

Like her husband, she is often away for long periods of time on various missions and such, and usually asks the protagonist to look after Grendel. This is also done to try and get them together - professionally at least, although Abigail certainly wouldn't mind if things went further.
