[@Dumb1And1Lazy] [@Sanity43217], [@Vampiretwilight], I have a suggestion, or in the immortal words of the Great Baldrick: "I have a cunning plan..." 

Since Dumb1And1Lazy leaves the game, I suggest that his characters can become practical NPCs, under the control of the GM (i.e. Vampiretwilight). 
Jasper in particular can be great for use as a some kind of recurring villain in plain sight (or at least a morally ambiguous fellow. Time will tell how he'll turn out, but judging from his "training" and overall behaviour, Jasper seemed plenty indoctrinated and will need a triple-whammy of the Power of Friendship to drop his distrust of supernaturals). 

If Dumb1And1Lazy wants to return to the game later on, then he could just resume control of his characters. 
How does that sound for a (hopefully friction-free) solution? As long as it doesn't become too many chars for Vampiretwilight to handle.
