Sidenote: The first paragraph makes sense if you're familiar with 9 Story Hotel lore. The meat of your article doesn't require it, but as a contributor I can't help but offer context.
The Hotel itself is an entity.
The denizens who call it home are (mostly) the kind of criminals other criminals are afraid of.

They're also only human by proxy. Each denizen defies reality, even if it's unclear how.
The locals who filter in and out, those who visit for business of one shade or another, every one of them has heard rumors of Rufus Balthazar.
They're all lies. They're all true.
Part 2 of Lost and Found can stand alone as a reference to flesh out the introduction to King of Killers. It's only about 900 words, it's a quick read, and
Nerisse, a madwoman who has never entered the hotel, bumps into Balthazar at the bar. Literally. Bishop, the bartender, makes it clear under no uncertain terms that she just had a collision with the angel of Death.
LMAO I didn't even get to the part where Emil mentioned Lost and Found. WHOOPS.
There's the one that's most relevant.
If you want the scoop on Vlad's place in Lost and Found, you're gonna have to read the whole thing cuz he's a major player. Balthazar is not. He scares me.
