2 roles
The primary antagonist of the show, Malstrom, is a masked necromancer who seeks to oppose Maxwell Grim (the show’s protagonist). He should be portrayed as a crafty and malicious tactician, with a knack for theatrics and a primary motivation to acquire Max’s wand.
Isabelle serves as a supporting character and love-interest to Max’s character. She is sharp-witted and determined, with an aggressive side to her fun-loving/optimistic personality. Isabelle should be portrayed as someone who is very curious about mundane things, which adds gravitas to her involvement in the storyline and influences her perspective on Maxwell (who works in part as a freelance metalworker/inventor).
