And here's Thorned Namshiel, last of the Denarian heavy-hitters. Another 10 shift evocation user, this one with even better Thaumaturgy than Nicodemus (though Nick's Noose boost him almost equal). He's scary magically, smart and versatile, but not really built with combat in mind and falls apart under determined assault.
Almost a Senior council level Thaumaturge (though his low control bonuses mean he takes longer at it), though, which synchs up with what he was able to achieve in terms of ridiculous ritual magic in Small Favor.
EDIT: Added Supernatural Mental Toughness.

Question: should Spinyboy be lower Refresh than Tessa? I know he'd have more Refinements, but Tessa is referred to be second only to DJ Nicky D himself, so she should probably have a refresh second only to his. Probably with Supernatural instead of Inhuman stuff.
Also, Magog should not really have those scholarship stunts. He's big dumb and stupid.

I disagree. she's the second oldest Denarian...that doesn't necessarily mean second most powerful. She's also a leader, which helps her to be considered scary. I mean, she plus Magog or rosanna could beat Namshiel's ass, and that's how it would go if there happened to be a fight. Namshiel's clearly a vastly better spellcaster than her...and there are certain Denarian minimums in the physical stuff.

This is the actual Fallen we're talking about. He's thousands of years old. At that age, a Lore of only Fair is...unimpressive. And Linguist is just for extra languages. If one of the actual Fallen doesn't speak several of those...something's seriously wrong there.
narphoenix:
Harry didn't take Linguist when he had Lash in his head. I'd just call speaking languages an invocation of the various "Fallen in my head" aspects with Hell sponsor debt instead of an actual stunt.

I don't, for those with names (see Rosanna...I do it anyway for those who've lived long enough ala Nicodemus...but that's a different thing). But Magog, as statted, isn't the Host, it's the Fallen inside, and that being needs some linguistic knowledge.
Still, upon reflection, I am dropping Namshiel's Recovery to merely Inhuman. That might help a bit with your concerns in that area.
