Was Dabbon Hait one mage? Or a full cabal? I found another reference to Xebenkeck in his Black Journal: "The blood feeds, the blood nourishes. In blood, the call is heard. In blood, the deal is made. My master bathed in a river of blood, Then the Great Xebenkeck came!" In 4:2 Black is the oldest account of the Forbidden Ones, though most mages consider them a hoax. But someone had to make that first deal, that first contact with the other side. From the unknown mage's account: Even those who consider this folly dare not utter these names.
