Unsurprisingly, since Thayer was the brilliant CEO of Wrenfare Magitech and so-called father of modern technology. Telepathically and telekinetically gifted, his offspring – Meredith, Arthur and Eilidh Wren – are publicly admired and privately capable of extraordinary feats. Any of the Wren prodigies would be a plausible inheritor to the Wrenfare throne.

She’s also facing imminent exposure for corporate malfeasance by a journalist ex-boyfriend.
