his secret partner, the empathic demon (and former champion/lounge act) Lorne. The group have come to The
Oracle for advice on several occasions and are unaware of the real source of his abilities. Recently

mode of speech and dress, and the means by which he punished Mr. Simmons, indicate that there is something
supernatural about him. When the demon Spring-Heeled Jack came to LA, it was revealed that he and the Count
had met each other before, in nineteenth century England, indicating the Count is far older than he appears.
