Umbra is a spectre of The Well- one of many that can be found wandering aimlessly among ruins on the way to Oblivion. She, as well as all the others that were left behind, can desire a variety of things, but most of them are quite abstract. "The desire to want". "The desire to feel". "The desire to experience eating". Even "The desire to feel pain". All sensations, and more, that they are robbed of deep within the Well. For they are pure beings that live in chaos and only once beheld by minds seeking sanity, could they achieve any semblance of form.
Umbra is just like them, except she found a way to escape- only to find herself within another prison. Luci, feeling at least moderately shitty about that, found a way to give Umbra a form that she can project herself onto and experience sensation directly. In return, when it comes time that Luci needs her to help, she's to help.
To give her form, Luci sculpts a copy of herself with enough ink that would comprise a normal human's blood. Umbra's natural energy changes its appearance to better match her disposition.
Umbra is very much an intelligent being, unlike most summons, but her mannerisms are just so toxic and volatile, that getting her to help out with complex calculations is like pulling teeth from a literal child. She, at the very least, provides interesting conversation even though she's pretty unlikable.
She is an average heighted human with pitch black hair in a wolf tail, deceptively soft features, dark brown pupils, black fingernails, and a shadow that's just a wee bit more vivid to especially perceptive individuals.

As Mr. Kind invoked his powers, sigils glowed with a faint, pulsating light. Flanked by two of King Paimon's familiars, his eyes gleamed with anticipation. With a subtle gesture, he beckoned them forth, and they responded, their forms coalescing from the surrounding shadows. Like wraiths materializing from the darkness, they took shape, their eerie visages reflecting the eldritch power that coursed through them.
The familiars appeared as crouching, bent shadowy, cat-like in their movements, creatures. The impish long limbed forms, pulsing with eldritch light. Seemingly made of coalescing smoke, thick like burnt scentless rubber vapors, and void-like spaces. That bore glowing embers floating among the motes of starlight in the not entirely real substance. Chain-like tails, claws, and spines, the winged Gaunts stalked forward, their more shadow than substance forms, gaining substance.
Thin, and black, with bat-like wings and a long, spiny tail. They have no facial features, and their skin is smooth and rubbery.. With a final word, Mr. Kind stood as a master of the creatures forming around him, his ambitions soon to be realized with the aid of King Paimon's familiars.
"He can bestow dignitaries and provide familiars against enemies while binding anyone resisting him in his own chains." Daily kind smiles as he speaks.
The first King of Hell that Mr. Kind bargains with is Paimon. Paimon is known as a powerful entity who holds vast knowledge and abilities. He teaches all arts, philosophy, and sciences, unveiling secret truths and mysteries of the Earth, wind, and water. Paimon can reveal the depths of the mind and answer any inquiry the conjurer desires. Furthermore, he grants good familiars, bestows dignities, and binds individuals to the conjurer's will.
In the Abramelin tradition, Paimon's powers are extensive. They include foreknowledge of past and future events, dispelling doubts, summoning spirits, inducing visions, summoning and dismissing servant spirits, temporarily reanimating the deceased, flying, enduring underwater indefinitely, and the general ability to manifest various objects and people, even armor, as commanded by the magician.
