OutcomeSpoilerShow
Plumb is killed and Southwark comes under Rook control.
Unlocking the war
Southwark is a smaller borough: two Templar hunts (Phillip Beckinridge and Myrtle Platt), two bounties (Anna Abramson and Albie Vassell), two strongholds (The Mint and Jacob's Island) and three factories (Blackburn Bellows, Hightower Coal and Southwark Spinning Mill). Clearing enough of it brings Plumb to the table.
Fighting Plumb
Octavia Plumb kept a wide circle of friends and family around her and preferred to let them fight for her, which fits her reluctance to accept the challenge and her late entry. Her page describes her as dangerous when cornered, so treat her seriously once she arrives.
Her background
Crawford Starrick chose Plumb as one of the seven Blighter leaders, and Maxwell Roth trained her before she took over Southwark.
