Alexandra Quick's locket contained a cameo portrait of her father, Abraham Thorn, and hung from a gold chain. The locket was delivered to her on Christmas Eve of 2008 by her father's familiar, Hagar, with a note reading: "Merry Christmas, Alexandra. Please keep this locket with you. It would mean a very great deal to me." She later discovered that the locket was actually a means of communication between her father and herself when he contacted her through it on her birthday in March 2009.
