Retrievers

Wren Velere and her partner Sergei Didier are retrievers (retrieval specialists) in a little different New York than we know it. (There is “magic”, but it does not compete with technology, it actually lives off the electricity.) If your clients lose an object, they ensure that it comes back to them. Sergei (as zero) is responsible for the organizational and Wren (as Lonejack Talent) for the action.
