A member of the Lawyers Guild, Slant considers himself a facilitator between Mr. Pin and Mr. Tulip, who form "The New Firm," a criminal endeavor, and their anonymous employer, who turns out to be Lord de Worde. Slant has a voice that could oil watches. He wants to know no details of the plan they have created to fulfill their sealed, written contract, and keeps contact minimal. This is fine with the New Firm, because Slant is a zombie, centuries dead. When he coughs, Slant emits disconcerting clouds of dust. Tulip hates zombies and Slant assures him that the feeling is mutual.
