	The Mystery Benefactor seems to spread a deathly chill just by entering a room, as well as a palpable sense of fear strong enough to paralyze [[Mu]] with terror. While this is not spelled out in ''the Brightwell Legacy'', he is apparently also powerful enough to bypass [[Tom-Cat]] and his followers without being attacked. The fact that the [[dread familiar\|dread familiar's]] bond with his lady master was suppressed by the ''Rue d'Absinthe's'' unnatural effect at the time might be a contributing factor. If [[Laurie Weathermay-Foxgrove\|Laurie Weathermay-Foxgrove's]] theory is correct, and the Mystery Benefactor claimed the [[Libre des Ombres Sécrètes]] so he could study and absorb its arcane knowledge, he ''may'' be a powerful [[arcane spellcaster]].

			If [[Laurie Weathermay-Foxgrove\|Laurie Weathermay-Foxgrove's]] theory is correct, and the Mystery Benefactor claimed the [[Libre des Ombres Sécrètes]] so he could study and absorb its arcane knowledge, he ''may'' be a powerful [[arcane spellcaster]]. However, the fact that he felt the need to manipulate [[Mu]] into a position where she could not fight him freely might lead one to suppose he is not confident in his ability to match the [[Witch]] in magical combat - unless, of course, he has future uses in mind for her...

	*When dealing with [[Mu]] in ''the Brightwell Legacy'', he took daguerrographs of the ''Rue d'Absinth'', the street in [[Richemulot]] where the [[Libre des Ombres Sécrètes]] could be found. By using [[Vistani]], who Mu distrusts, to deliver the pictures to her, he ensured the scholar would flee her safe-house in [[Kartakass]] and be in an agitated state.		*When dealing with [[Mu]] in ''the Brightwell Legacy'', he took daguerrographs of the ''Rue d'Absinth'', the street in [[Richemulot]] where the [[Libre des Ombres Sécrètes]] could be found.

	*By arranging for the [[Shadow Fey]] [[Powrie]] known as '''Fie-Fetch''' to assist the Vistani and spreading word of the treasure of knowledge to be found at the ''Rue d'Absinth'', he ensured Mu would ''stay'' agitated even after the gypsies had delivered the message.
