 The leading lady of [[House Vespridge]] and formally the second most powerful person in the city. For reasons unknown, the [[Ainsley Vespridge|Duke]] is highly reclusive and rarely appears in public, so the Duchess acts as the face of House Vespridge. She frequently appears at [[Vesper Ridge Parliamentary Council]] assemblies and in high society gatherings.
 
-Additionally, Duchess Axelia is the formal leader of the [[Constabulary]], which effectively makes her a general in charge of the city’s armed forces. Kind of a girlboss.

+A maid, of sorts, in service of the esteemed [[House Vespridge]]. She claims to report directly to [[Axelia Vespridge|Duchess Axelia]].
+
+Calliope’s clothing is fine and dignified, but her eyes are frightfully, inhumanly dark. Our party came across her locked in combat with a [[Searchlights|strange mechanical figure]], and helped her defeat it. After the battle, she introduced herself without making eye contact, shared a bit of knowledge about the nobility, and warned Margot to be careful with [[The Gloaming Lantern]].
+
+When questioned on the matter, Calliope revealed herself to be a worshiper of the [[Our Lady of the Black Rose|Black Rose]]. Calliope harbors a distrust for [[House Hypatia]], but will not explain why; the nature of her work demands a certain level of secrecy.

Unlike most residents of the church, Oliver has a living relative within the city –[[Arthur|an older brother]]– but the two live apart for reasons Oliver has not shared... perhaps because Arthur would find it awkward to live together with [[Rook]], his ex-boyfriend?
