The Uncials
The Uncials (or simply Uncials) is an unlicensed transdimensional street gang.
The Uncials support themselves as glyph poachers, making them the natural enemies of Glyph Wardens.
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 drink 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).
Chicxulub Chips
The Uncials eat a lot of Chicxulub Chips.
In the News
The Uncials, while illiterate, enjoy art. Hot Still-Scape for Six Colors - 7th Avenue Style (1940) by Stuart Davis is a particular favorite of many Uncials.]]
Book of Kells wants to make clear that it has nothing to do with The Uncials.
Group of Uncials, ready to play some Dungeons & Dragons.
