Jennifer Flint

Jennifer Flint is a pharmacist, and apothecary for the Elucidated Brethren of the Ebon Night. She features in Scions of the Dark Revelation and later as an amnesiac in The Maiden and the Shadow.

Background
Jennifer became apothecary as soon as she joined the cult, she she has had experience with chemicals and in particular has means of storing and sourcing such resources. She supplies the reagents needed for rituals, as well as creating medication and lip-loosening-liquids.

She was charged by Pierre Octavius to keep an eye on Patricia Everson, who is apparently suffering from hallucinations and dissociated personality disorder, most recently manifested in a delusion that she is being possessed by a demon. Jennifer medicates her without her knowing, twice every afternoon.

Jennifer has been aware for some time that Martin Argyll has been quietly stealing from her chemical supply, but has decided to keep quiet about this for the time being.

Ten days ago, she found the cult stores broken in to and robbed, but this time, the door was broken down and many jars of chemicals had been shamelessly smashed, uncharacteristic of Argyll's thievery. Knowing that suspicion would fall on him despite this, she has not told anyone (until the events on the day of Everson's funeral).

Scions of the Dark Revelation mystery
During the mystery Jennifer was approached by Gabrielle Hopkins to source some chemicals. Jennifer recognised the chemicals could be used to create explosives, and so instead passed her off a fake.

This worked to her advantage later, when Alice Hawkins attempted to use Gabrielle's bomb to kill most of the cult, as her chemical knowledge was needed to replace the fake substance, thus she was spared the subsequent explosion.
