And bigfoot, and lizard people, and the aliens who built the pyramids, though he’s yet to obtain definitive evidence for them despite his best efforts. He just needs to convince both the general public and the occult community that he’s not crazy, and then he’ll be heralded as the new Galileo. Yet, after over a decade dedicated to cryptid hunts and supernatural scholarship, all that Jonny had to show for it by age 30 was a string of tarot-driven bad bets, a failed marriage, rejection from the Marlowe Occult Organization and every publication, and little gainful employment — until his Uncle Joe pity-hired him at his sleepy diner, and the diner was bought out by an actual Duke of Hell, and Jonny suddenly found himself neck-deep in fiendish shenanigans. It’s Jonny’s big break and everything he dreamed about as a lonely child who wished for something more beneath the sprawling Marlowe pavement. What could ever go wrong? ## Relationships ### Leslie Fox <img class="relationship-image" src="chibi_leslie.jpg" alt="Chibi Leslie">Jonny’s contracted devilish roommate. Every relationship that they have is one of mutual benefit. Leslie gets to stay on earth, and Jonny gets his rent bill halved post-divorce. Leslie gets fed as a succubus, and Jonny gets a simulacrum of intimacy until (unless) he gets back with his ex-wife. Leslie is Jonny’s best friend and closest ally, and he tells Jonny that he feels the same. ### Solomon Malphus <img class="relationship-image" src="chibi_solomon.jpg" alt="Chibi Solomon">Like a snake in the grass, Solomon charmed Eden into unknowingly signing away her baby’s soul as her payment for his infernal divorce lawyer services — and Jonny couldn't stop him. Now, Solomon haunts Jonny every day at work, his sultry smirk and masculine charm serving as a constant reminder of Jonny’s inability to keep the people he loves. ### Eden Kellogg Capellini <img class="relationship-image" src="chibi_eden.jpg" alt="Chibi Eden">Once, Eden and Jonny were unlikely childhood sweethearts, a cryptozoology nerd and the preppy daughter of the mayor. But over the years, their marriage grew fraught. The final straw was when Jonny lost $10,000 in one sitting in Las Vegas, which led to Eden initiating a shotgun divorce in the City of Sin with the help of Solomon Malphus, esquire. Despite trying to avoid Jonny, it seems that their fates are intertwined as they both find themselves back in Marlowe — and each working for a rival restaurant.
