Blanche Combine

Blanche Combine was one of Lady Aesculapius's companions.

She eventually stopped travelling with her and settled for a quiet life in a cottage. However, she was invited to Aesc's interdimensional funeral when Aesculapius, having been reborn in a new body, decided she needed to gather everyone she knew in a single room to figure out who the killer was. This gave Blanche the opportunity to meet some of Aesc's other companions past and present, including Graelyn Scythes, Archimedes Von Ahnerabe, and Jason Jackson, the current one. She then bore witness to Aesc figuring out the culprit was her old nemesis Professor Meistras, before enjoying the buffet with the others, with the caveat of objecting to the pineapple toppings on the pizza.
