“Does Crowin make announcements often?” I ask.
“Every once in a while,” Chase says, “when he has something to say.”
“You should come watch it too,” Nick says. “It might be relevant to us.”

Isaak Crowin stands behind a podium which bears the Bloodfang sigil: a set of canine teeth, dripping with blood. How literal. Crowin himself is a fit-looking man in his late fifties. His hair is sandy yellow with a touch of gray. He’s a tall, broad man, whose eyes stare fiercely at the camera as he speaks in a deep, almost musical voice, which carries the faintest possible hint of a Russian accent.
