Description:

Jester Book is a relatively young man who works as a personal assistant to Amanda Hoffrin, also known as “Lady Violet”.  He is pretty good with numbers, which initially got him hired as an accountant. But as Lady Violet recognized his other skills, like a knack for logistics and the ability to keep a cool head and quick thinking while under stress, she started delegating all sorts of organizational tasks to him.

It often is unclear to outsiders if he is actually fine with that or just doesn’t know how to do anything about it – maybe even fearing for his life should he speak up against her or try to leave.
