Monsignor Pulaski (Male, Distinguished, 50s) (Featured (May be in more than one episode)
Line 1: Oh, it’s hot, though not the way you imagine. The 1600s was the last time a..supernatural being was able to access the Akashic records. A poor family from Uxbridge, England made a deal a minor enchanted, Valitro, to answer a question using the records. In exchange, Valitro could have the first born female child from the next 15 generations. Valitro, a child rapist before he was stoned to death and joined the service of the Mornigstar, readily agreed. He astrally projected himself into the Library and was able to telepathically send the message to the patriarch of the family. Within minutes, Valitro began screaming. His eyes melted in his head and his flesh began to bubble and turn brown. On the other end, the patriarch’s head exploded in front of his surprised family. His death was instant. Valitro burned for centuries before Sheeva allowed him to go to the eternal, godless, death.

——————————————-
Jacob (Male 18-20 Primary, one-episode)
Line #1: …then, in 1917 the boilers blew. Because the road up the mountain was so icy all the fire department and folks from town could do is watch the flames against the dark sky and bright moon. Even with half of the Overbrook on fire, 57 patients still froze to death that night. Another four died in the fire along with two staff members. But the state rebuilt, upgraded the boilers and the place was here until they closed it for good in 1986.
