Summary of Receipt
Galao mentions Asmodeus’s hierarchy, and says that Mrs. Weyer, aka Naberius, is a Marquis of Hell - the rank just below Asmodeus. He’s also in the Ars Goetia (aka the lesser key of solomon), which is a pretty big deal. Even glamoured and thus at a quarter of his strength, Weyer could pretty easily defeat most of the CaD, so she and Doppio volunteer to give Black Coffee some backup.

BARISTA ON DUTY: GALAO
RECEIPT FILED AS: C-NCN-02
Really? Marquis Masquerade? Gag. That's like if Satan had a Boogieman Ball. For those of you who don't know, every Prince of Hell has a sort of hierarchical system that governs their plane of hell. It's where you get all the fun extra names from, like, Boogiemen, Consorts, Marquis, Dragons, Wyverns, Horrors, etc., etc. Asmi has her plane set up like a royal court system. Obviously, she's at the top as the Prince of the Amaymon/Necropolis. Then she has her Marquis, Castellans, Vidames, Barons, Ladies/Gentlemen/Nobles, and then the Gens-Diabolique, which is the vast majority of the Necropolis.
So, that brings us around to Mrs. Weyer, better known as Naberius, a Marquis of the Amaymon. Which, you might have noticed, is the title directly below Asmi. So, to say that he's a heavy hitter is probably an understatement. If you're good enough to be mentioned in the Goetia, you're probably not no one. That being said, I don't know him. At least not well. I know that he's like a dog-type guy. Uh, he's good with rhetoric, and he has something to do with dignity, taking away or restoring, I dunno. The point is, we really shouldn't take this guy lightly. Even if he's glamored up and only at a quarter of his usual strength, he could still easily take out most of you.
So! I think I should go with Black Coffee on this outing. Even though Naberius is strong, he probably wouldn't try anything with me around. I hope. I also heard that Doppio would like to tag along, and I think she'd make a great addition. It could be a fun girls' night out! …of course, to find Naberius and interrogate him about Mistress' plans. But fun is really what you make it.
