What to do with Edwin VanCleef? Choose any that appeal.

Daddy’s girl: Vanessa loves her father and wants to rebuild him to fit into her new worldview. He will be subservient to Erich, but will otherwise become dominant and domineering “like a real man.” She will use him (and other men of the retinue like Tony) as a proxy for Erich, so that the ladies can partially fill the void that comes from not directly serving their true master. Incest will not be involved.

As You Were: Vanessa changes her father as little as possible, allowing him to continue running the Defias brotherhood with effectively only the baseline stamp binding unless Erich makes adjustments.

Field work: Edwin is put into a position as a field agent alongside Keryn and Darcell, while Vanessa takes over as the leader of the Defias for most intents and purposes. Puts him to good use and gets him out of the way.

Subservient: like all men not specifically whitelisted by Lord Bismark, Edwin is unworthy of the title of man. If he is kept male then he will be reduced to a servile gelding (at least in private).

Sister: turn Edwin into a woman; from there we will consider additional options covered in another survey.

Trigger happy: using the orb of entrancement give Edwin several different triggers keyed to various alternate personalities, so that he can be whatever Erich wants him to be or whatever Vanessa needs from him.

Reconciliation: start moving towards a good faith resolution to the war between the Defias and Stormwind, which should be easier once both sides are under Erich’s control.

Suggestion box: once the amulet and orb are done, Vanessa is going to have godlike power over Edwin’s mind and body. Anything goes.
