Yeah, my thoughts exactly. Admittedly the pre-established character relations thing is new to me, however. Like, I know of it as a concept, but I've just never been in a thread or game where it was enforced to any particular extent. Might need a bit of a hand there. 

I guess a possible hook is that given my character is a warlock of some repute, it's quite possible some of you have had run-ins with him before, either seeking his help, or as a victim of one of his more jerkish whims. Someone's character could even be still suffering from some curse he put on you for his amusement, and trying to hunt him down to convince him to reverse it, forcefully or otherwise.

Given he's quite fond of duels, it's possible they could be seeking him to set him a challenge of some kind or another as well.
