Sacred Haven of Debauchery

About the mages, briefly, before the transformation.

I was playing with a Russian speaker because my English isn't perfect. Before the transformation, he simply said that "Quentis's experience was disgusting to me," meaning it was difficult to believe he helped him. But I'll take your word for it.

As for the madness, an ordinary person wouldn't suddenly become possessed, only with the help of a mage, but a mage...

But possession and madness aren't related. Quentis wasn't possessed, and he didn't change his appearance until the very end, right?

Probably, she would have done so, leaving the position to Callen. But it didn't happen, because of the idol.

Probably, if Meredith hadn't pressured the mages, none of this would have happened.
