A nervous soother handler who manages autograph merchandise, payments, photos, and the fan line.
Effex physically attends CrawlCon while Carl and the Popovs sign remotely. He displays animated photographs, shirts, and digital objects, then places purchases on the table so the crawlers' magical pen movements mirror onto the real merchandise.
He also takes paid photographs, enforces premium-pass limits, and pushes Jenn'ifer along when her head symbiote would otherwise require another photo entitlement.
A frightened-looking male soother stationed beside a merchandise display and virtual signing table.
Effex operates the transactional bridge between remote crawlers and physical fans.
