Maida Downere

Maida serves as the personal bodyguard of Themistocles Spinther (page 85). They are never seen together, and he does not acknowledge that he has a bodyguard—not even to his friends. His brother Achaicus (page 13) knows of her, but keeps his secret. Whether at home or outside, Maida will be hiding where she can see and hear him at all times. When both brothers are present in the same place, she has been instructed to prioritize the safety of Achaicus.
