The relationship
Traditional texts render this name as something like "robbing wealth" — a hazard, not a character. Structurally it is the same element as the Day Master with the opposite charge, so it shares your ground while pulling the other way. That mismatch of rhythm, not malice, is what reads as disruptive.
How it shows up
Prominent where people are good at bringing others along and at finding the way around an obstacle. Generous with resources, and untroubled by the rules of who was supposed to get what.
Where the cost is
The cost is leakage. Resources leave as easily as they arrive, plans get renegotiated, and commitment is easier to start than to keep. The classical warning about wealth is really a warning about dispersal.
What keeps it in proportion
Authority settles it. A structure to answer to turns improvisation into a method instead of a series of exits.
