Yuri Milczarek (Special)
Yuri is Mab's most recent Winter Knight. Before he was chosen for his current job, he was a criminal mastermind. Actually, he still kind of is a criminal mastermind. But now he's a criminal mastermind on Mab's behalf.
Yuri took to magic like a duck to water. The first thing he did after being "hired" was to shut himself in Mab's library studying her lore. The second thing he did was to build himself some genuinely impressive magical gear.
In theory he could be a fair bit more powerful than he is, but he prefers not to draw too deeply on the physical abilities of his mantle. He might be an awful human being, but he values his freedom.

Alexandra Hawthorne (Feet In The Water)
Alexandra is a university student studying literature, and until pretty recently she was a normal-ish human being. But recently she discovered some old books in a second store which changed her life. They were books on magic written by the Merlin that came before Arthur Langtry, enchanted to protect against divination magic and then lost due to bizarre events too complicated to explain here.
Alexandra read the books with growing fascination and, in one of them, discovered a way to draw magic from books. Naturally she tried it, and now she's a full-fledged spellcaster. Not a wizard, but powerful in her own way. And shockingly knowledgeable, thanks partly to the Merlin's books and thanks partly to her being a genuine genius despite her often-silly behaviour.

Dont have a specific need right now, but for the sake of contributing ideas:
-A weredragon son of St George
-A Master Alchemist
-an immortal shapeshifter from eastern Europe
-Sir Stewart in his Prime
I don't remember much about Sir Stewart, so I'll have to pass on that one unless someone fills me in.
I'll do the other three over the next day or two. After that I think I'm done with this little project, unless someone proposes something really interesting.
