Relationships with other agencies
Glyph Wardens
The Uncials support themselves as glyph poachers, making them the natural enemies of Glyph Wardens.
Chicxulub Chips
The Uncials eat a lot of Chicxulub Chips.
Propinquity Associates
The Uncials sometimes beat Propinquity Associates to the punch, and there is a certain amount of playful but murderous donnybrooking, with the Uncials getting the worst of it, every time.
These outbursts of violence are inevitably followed by the ritual drinking of Extract of Radium, and the usual resulting incidents of scrimshaw abuse.
Here again the Uncials keep getting the worst of it, with Propinquity Associates at least having the sense to vomit up that last unwise shot of hemlock and Extract of Radium (see Mispent Youth).
Petasos
The hat-wearing alleged supervillain Petasos has formed (and broken) alliances with The Uncials on several occasions.
Mispent Youth
The transdimensional cocktail Mispent Youth is popular with The Uncials.
Columbo
The Uncials have a hate-love relationship with One More Thing, the artificial intelligence based on Columbo.
Aldermania
Several of the Uncials are notorious for repeated and extreme bouts of Aldermania, the abnormal psychological need to be an Alderman (nonfiction).
