Increased Sapience

Appearance:
Vajra is a plain and unadorned adamantine band, worn under the glove on Samael's right hand.

Personality:
Vajra is has very intelligent and charismatic personality. He is fascinated with magic and loves to observe and study various forms of it. He loves the quest for knowledge, and his main goal is to increase his knowledge on as many topics as possible. He has many opinions on many topics, and often joins into conversations that Samael is having. While this can be unsettling to new acquantances, his advice is usually worth hearing. He and Samael often converse on the tactics and strategies that they will employ, and as he is actually more intelligent than his master Vajra contributes greatly to this. He tends to be more cautious than Samael, and often reins in more daring and risky plans.

Tactics:
In combat, Vajra focuses on defense. He uses the spell slots invested in him to enhance Samael with a greater blink, and spends most of his actions preparing to whisk them both to the ethereal plane at the first sign of an incoming attack. If things go poorly, he will fully heal Samael before resuming the blinking tactic.

Current XP (after being Jesus'd): 154,620xp
Based on the XP last time Samael was alive, minus 3,600xp for losing then reinvesting Item Familiar

so you're just above lvl18's needed XP =P

btw Judson, figure I should make sure you understand this.

you must be using Air Walk when making a jump attack in 'aerial combat'. Jumping for flight -> makes no sense.

Judson:
Dark One's Own Luck specifically states the bonus cannot exceed CLASS LEVEL (not caster level), and you certainly don't have enough warlock levels for that current bonus.
also, assume it's a 'luck' bonus.

Samael searches for scrolls of Contingency and Bite of the Werebear to scribe into his Blessed Book.

no to the Bite of Werebear (it's considered a 'barbaric' spell long since lost their popularity to the civilized nations), yes to the Contingency.
btw, I'll likely be including any spell that contains and triggers another spell as a 'contingency' type spell, and of course with the 3.0 rule that any one target may only have one contingency spell at a time. The only other spell I can think of that you guys use often that would be classified as a 'contingency' type spell is Fortunate Fate (trigger heal upon condition death).
