Wanda Firebaugh

Wanda Firebaugh is a Croakamancer in the service of Lord Stanley. She also serves as his chief adviser, being both highly intelligent and adept at persuading him to adopt her suggestions and think they were his idea all along.

She has supplemented Gobwin Knob's rather meager forces by using Croakamancy to animate fallen troops as "uncroaked". In particular, all of Stanley's remaining warlords (after the death of Lord Manpower the Temporary) are uncroaked. Wanda is also capable of handling a wide variety of other magicks, but is not really interested in any besides Croakamancy.

Her other contribution to the war effort was made by practicing her "hobbies" -- torture and interrogation. After Jillian Zamussels was captured and brought to Gobwin Knob, she was subjected to torture and a magic spell (apparently some form of mental suggestion) and persuaded to reveal Prince Ansom's battle plans.
