Nick Plainsong
Nicholas Plainsong, or Hawksmoor was an assistant to Nate Silver. He found Nate during the Great Plague of London and helped him do anatomical experiments on bodies; Faction Paradox considered recruiting him as a means to observe Silver but instead chose Mistress Piper, considering Plainsong to be risky, as he was already aware that there were other great powers at work, and was attempting to contact them.. After the plague, Nick orchestrated Silver's career as the Magus, but stole the Egg from Nate on the suggestion of Jeova Unus Sanctus. Afterwards, he was recruited into the Service, becoming Jeova's clerk; he ambushed and trapped Parent Sphinx Faction Paradox family in a church, unveiled Cousin Greenaway in front of Nate Silver.
Later in his life, he became apprenticed to the best architects, toured the temples of Rome, Greece, and Egypt, and became a renowned designer of churches in England, including Westminster Abbey. He would use his position as an architect to work for Faction Paradox, priming the Gregorian Compact through small, practically accidental, blood sacrifices in the churches he built. Even as a church architect, he retained his fondness for brothels, and he took Nate to visit the Cunicularii. (PROSE: Newtons Sleep)
The Countess of Jersey noted that the western towers of Westminster Abbey had been designed by the architect Hawksmoor as a satanic joke. (PROSE: The Adventuress of Henrietta Street)
