If at first you don’t succeed

Enid Marlow was first born in the 1400s, and was considered to be a cunning woman, a phrase here used to indicate a woman who practiced “good” magic to heal people/livestock, predict the future with divination, procure love with charms, and find lost items or treasures. Somewhere along the way, Marlow became what was considered to be a malefica, a phrase here used to indicate a person practiced magical acts intended to harm, mixed in with a side of diabolism. As the times changed, she worked as a private investigator, fortune teller, metaphysical shop sales person, and a host of other professions until she stumbled upon a ritual of munch interest, and a promise of eternal life and rebirth. At some point, presumably, Marlow died of natural causes. However her name came up again recently as the Ohio Worms joined the ILB.

Try, try again

Enid Marlow was born in a year, and was considered to be haunted, a phrase here used to indicate that a woman claiming to be her past self was an ever constant companion. Luckily for Marlow, she had a natural talent for magic and an interest in the occult as well as tailoring her own elaborate “classical goth” outfits. Her very first ritual was performed in a gorgeous black and lace gown alongside Wanda Schenn and Augusta Chadwell to turn them all into star blaseball players. This may have had something to do with Chadwell’s half-demon state, and Schenn’s refusal to speak to Marlow. When presented with the opportunity to encourage the necromancy of York Silk in Baltimore, Marlow leapt at the chance, which unsurprisingly further soured her relationship with Shem. The ritual went through mostly as intended, however this time it was her that was banished to the Crab’s shadows.

Persistence Pays off in the End

Enid Marlow was traded to the Baltimore Crabs in the season 14 elections, and immediately joined Bevan Underbuck on the bench, and quickly moved into their apartment, much to Underbuck’s quiet dismay. Not one to freeload however, Marlow was quick to take after her own long-time apparition and taught Underbuck the basics of magic and spellcasting which they took to with surprising ease. Marlow also took the time to learn about Carcinization a process unique to Baltimore where people took on Crab-like features. Despite the social faux-paux, Marlow was quick to enquire about the details of many people’s changes, when they started, and what powered them - though she was frustrated to find that no one who knew would speak to her about it.

Finally after spending 3 seasons in the shadows, Marlow joined the Crab’s active roster in season 18, eager to put her many talents to use.
