George Close (ジョージ＝クローズ): BTL1
 * Deceased, magical fire
 * Background: Although he was said to look like an intellectual working in a brokerage firm, George Close was buried in debt by December of the current year. At some point then, he was contacted by Anna Sprengel in some form and blinded by greed from what she was offering, cooperated by rewriting documents in order to get R&C Occultics onto the London Stock Exchange.
 * Chronology: On Christmas morning in the City of London's financial district, he attempted to use a fire spell he had learned online to eliminate data concerning his corruption, but ended up immolating himself with magical fire instead, with plenty of witnesses. It was noted that Anna had likely set things up so that her 'cooperators' would end up self-destructing.
 * Abilities: George Close had acquired magical knowledge via R&C Occultics and while he managed to activate magic, he was unable to control the magical fire, leading to his demise. He was capable of rewriting documents in order to get the company on the stock exchange.

Personality
GT2 Notes
 * Pr
 * Ch2
 * Pt2:
 * Anna hates being interrupted in the middle of an explanation, going into a rant and taking out her anger on a nearby object.
 * Pt3-4
 * Like when events turn out differently from predictions

Given her immense power and her ability to predict outcomes with near certainty, Anna is often bored and finds enjoyment in things which defy her predictions. She has no compunction about manipulating and harming others for the sake of her own goals and interests.

Abilities

 * Anna Sprengel is capable of creating magical landmines through distortions in the ley lines.


 * Pt8

Pneuma-less Shell
The -less Shell (プネウマなき外殻) is a spiritual item, described as a base metal made by intentionally distorting the Philosopher's Egg (哲学者の卵), which Anna uses to add some randomness to her battles, disturbing her own rhythm and reducing her status.

It is a two-meter tall metallic sphere, hovering in the air and emitting a dull silver light. There is a wheel at its center and when it is spun, the orb makes a grinding noise similar to gears before opening up in a complex manner to dispense an item. At a snap of her fingers, it can compress itself into the form of a small round flask, no larger than an eyedrop container, with multiple necks like a bagpipe and lined with thin lead foil.

The sphere manifests with the command Incubate (抱卵), causing a shockwave which knocks down objects and individuals in its vicinity. When initially using it, Anna spoke its name, invoking the Philosopher's Egg, Clear Coffin (透明なる棺), and a spell which never strays far, even found hidden in music and painting. Declaring that she did not seek the red stone, she had it show her a distorted result to entertain her with the unforeseen.

Through her knowledge and techniques, Anna is capable of extracting the 'essence' of the produced items, associated with their history and traditions (in explaining this, she gave examples of firsts; e.g. the first projectiles being stones, the first smokescreens being dried grass, the first biological weapons being corpses, and the first blades likely being stone or bone), and applying them to produce potent effects:

Rosicrucianism

Lists rules established among the order (curing the sick, no one uniform, meet every year, prepare successor, CR - seal/mark/character, fraternity secret for one hundred years)
 * "Their agreement was this: First, That none of them should profess any other thing, then to cure the sick, and that gratis. 2. None of the Posterity should be constrained to wear one certain kind of habit, but therein to follow the custom of the Country. 3. That every year upon the day C. they should meet together at the house S. Spiritus, or to write the cause of his absence. 4. Every Brother should look out for a worthy person, who after his discease might succeed him. 5. The word C.R. should be their Seal, Mark, and Character. 6. The Fraternity should remain secret one hundred years."
