In No Rest for the Wicked, she was a council member for Central Widdershins. When Wolfe and O’Malley got in trouble with the law (meeting Captain Nicki Barber in the process), Fairbairn made a deal with O’Malley to release Wolfe from jail, on the condition that they work with Ben in dealing with the malforms (buggerups) that were running wild. She was also running a smear campaign against magic, and convincing people that wizards should be executed when they make mistakes with their magic. In secret, she was using Sloth (which Ben accidentally summoned) as a means to gain power by depriving people (especially wizards) of their sleep, and become the new mayor by leading the city into an age of machinery.
O’Malley foiled her plan by rounding up as many buggerups as he could find, and stormed Fairbairn’s warehouse. In the battle, she knocked over an oil lamp near boxes of lamp oil and started a huge fire. When Ben tried to de-summon Sloth, Fairbairn knocked him out. But O’Malley dragged him out of the circle, leaving Fairbairn alone with Sloth. Sloth feasted on Fairbairn, and escaped the circle. Neither were seen again… until now.
Ah, yes… Margery Fairbairn…
