Eberstark Law
We're here to help...
Hennie Eberstark
You can't discuss Eberstark without addressing the peculiarities surrounding the woman who sits as its founder and leader: Hennie Eberstark. This woman has no idea she runs a clandestine organization within her law firm. She knows nothing of The Web, nor does she believe in the pseudo-paranormal despite having encountered it many, many times.
Hennie is somehow immune or perhaps willfully ignorant of The Candlelight. It's as if she refuses to acknowledge it. Some people, and we're talking about a very select few, excell at compartmentalizing the horrific events that would normally spark The Candlelight. In no time at all, they simply forget the events occurred.
This brings us to Charlie. To keep things moving efficiently without having to explain what's really going on, an enigmatic figure operates the organization in her stead. Charlie is… an unknown quantity.
Charlie
Charlie is the biggest topic of conversation around the water cooler at Eberstark Law. They are capable of mind boggling calculations and somehow manage to operate Eberstark law with little to no oversight or assistance from Hennie.
Charlie is often described as appearing either male or female, and depending one's interactions with them, will be adressed with any and all pronouns in conversations and memos. They always tend to be in the right place at the right time, some reports claiming to them in multiple locations at the same time. The moment someone needs to speak to them, they can assume Charlie isn't far. More often than not, Charlie will be just around the corner.
Despite the peculiar details, Charlie is widely regarded as one of the best bosses one could work for. Eberstark employees tend to have the best working conditions both in and out of the field. The fact that they are one of the few organizations held accountable for things like taxes and regulations, their employees also enjoy vacation days and paid time off, a rare luxury in The Web.
Eberstark Unions
Aside from making everyone elses job easier, Eberstark Law also began the Union Initiative. This program seeks to unite the organizations of The Web, offering numerous benefits for organizations that lend agents and assets to the initiative. This led to the formation of Eberstark Unions, teams composed of agents from multiple organizations. Eberstark Unions allow for more precise handling of operations with less resources involved in the operation. Since it's inception, Eberstark Unions led to strong connections between key players in The Web allowed smaller organizations access to key funding and assistance they could never use before.

You have such a talent for names, not just for people but all manner of objects (Bliss) and procedures (psychic surgery). These really go hand in glove with the concepts they identify. The dichotomy between Hennie and Charlie is a brilliant dynamic. It leaves me hungry to know more about who Charlie really is, and what Hennie does to remain at the core.
Thanks so much for the high praise! I want to add more of Hennie. She's a fun character for sure and the interactions with charlie who has to go through her for a lot of the big things, are priceless.
