Editing Laird Behaim (section)

==Chronology==
===Before the story===
Before the story, he had been trained by his father and [[Rose Thorburn Senior|Roselyn]] in combatting demons in hopes of bringing change. He also did the same for [[Alister Behaim]].
===Bonds===
Laird appears as one of the figures in Blake's dream, meeting with him later and explaining the power balance situation to him and Rose. However, he uses the opportunity to lead them into a trap by distorting their sense of time and leaving them prey to the [[Others]] that lurk after dark. He then explains while he is an enemy, he has no immediate plans to deal with him as he doesn't see him as an immediate threat.

===Damages===
Laird arrives at a store where Blake was to retrieve him and take him to the council meeting. Once there he called it to order and started by asking Blake to introduce himself. When Blake tried to set the groups against each other, divide and conquer, he diffused the situation by suggesting [[Mara Angnakak|Mara]], [[Briar Girl]], and [[Maggie Holt]] take the deal since he can protect his own family as well as the Duchamps. Although [[Padraic]], and he claims Johannes, are offended and require [[Sandra Duchamp|Sandra]] to smooth things over. He then calls for a vote to whether Maggie should be executed for abusing her powers, but it doesn't go through.

Later on Laird appears to stop an alliance between Maggie and Blake, revealing that on his orders to subdue [[Molly Walker]] Maggie accidentally killed her and that he was retaliating for an attack on his reputation by Blake later on.

===Breach===
Laird is at the wedding reception and has all of the assembled members of his circle work together to lay a spell on the property of the Hillglade's House, only for Blake to interfere and then have him and [[Sandra Duchamp]] taken to court. However, he managed to get out and restart the entire ritual for a reduced effect and sent Andy to inform him that they would call it even for the time being and he wouldn't pursue him unless he retaliated again.

===Subordination===
He appeared at the beginning of the contest to appeal to [[Conquest]] and become one of his champions, bringing members of his family with him to participate. When Blake appears at the police station he arrives in the spirit world to confront him, planning on keeping him alive for some reason but withered and old and helpless, when he ends up being captured by [[Blake Thorburn|Blake]] with assistance from the [[Hyena]].

===Void===
They then trap him in a circle that is inside another circle, with [[Pauz]] acting as a guard dog to watch him until the contest is done. Somehow he manages later on to get his implement and then escape, setting Pauz free to attack Blake only to realize the imp was a bluff. He later appears at Duncan's home with the full power of his circle behind him and tries to reason with Blake before setting into motion a plan to slow him down so that Conquest could capture him.

He held Blake in place so that his own [[Echo]]es would assault him with memories of his worse experiences, and as a result Blake stabs him in the throat. He later bleeds out on the snow and dies.
