Alistair Mordechai’s personal hit squad of Kingfishers that make it their business to guard the Seer and help him complete his more dangerous tasks. If you’ve ever wondered how it’s possible that Alistair can pull off the impossible, you’re looking at the reason in this blade’s members. The original members have been at work since the 15th Century.
The numbers of the Reservoir Dogs change almost every generation as Alistair's most trusted operatives retire or get killed on the job. Furthermore, the existence of the Reservoir Dogs is a bit of an open secret among Kingfishers and other close associates of the Mordechai Brothers. If you find out about them, you find out about them. If you don't, then you don't. Even reliable information networks like Network Zero classify the blade as an urban legend within the Vigil.

Ply Pleasance Finch with enough wine, and maybe she’ll tell you a story. She’ll tell you about a pretty whore who – much like many other pretty whores – died of consumption in some dark alleyway at winter. She’ll tell you about how a lonely monster found her body and mistook her for her mortal sister of decades past, whom she had loved the way a husband might love a wife. She’ll tell you what it’s like to be Rapunzel in a Tower, too isolated and naïve to realize that “horrific” was the new normal until her little mind snapped. And then she’ll tell you about the day the Seer found her.
On paper, Pleasance was one of Queenscraic’s finest agents, noted for being one of the more tolerable Black Pieces on the board of the Methuselah. In truth, she was Alistair’s saboteur, singularly devoted to undermining the conspiracy’s authority by keeping things in a perpetual state of near-turmoil. If Helena Lovecraft made it her business to maintain the Seer’s assets, Pleasance made it her business to maintain his information (spy) network. Her “little birds” – the orphaned, the disenfranchised, the invisible of society whom she or her people have saved – are scattered all over Europe and former colonies of European countries. Shifts in the Vigil and in the World of Light may have compromised many of her circles, but Pleasance is, if for nothing else, resilient.
PLOT POINTS AS OF 01 OCTOBER 2016
Most of the people working for Pleasance don't even know that they're working for anyone at all. She's good at her job like that.
The other Reservoir Dogs have only heard from Pleasance once since the Ides. As of her last check-in, she was still in Queenscraic trying to manage the fallout from the destruction of Sydney.
