Feasibly a person of interest for an artifact story (either he created one or was influenced by one), probably not for Bronzing. Bronzing is specifically for the worst of the worst, or those on their way. Usually they have some connection to artifacts or the Warehouse and it's too dangerous to let them be (speaking of which, do you think the Warehouse would have Bronzed Cykes if they couldn't heal him of the Bracelet's power?).

Moving the conversation back a hair, a thought occurs to me. Is it possible that Rosa could have been affected by two artifacts? Initially, per Scalec's suggestion, it would be Ship Bell from The Hannibal, which began corrupting her personality and changing her from polite and caring to a crueler personality. Some time later (perhaps a few years after taking over), she came under the influence of a second artifact, this one Peter Niers (mostly because the black magic aspect really intrigues me), which fully corrupted her personality beyond repair and caused the disturbances which led to the Warehouse getting involved.

The only issue I see with using Niers is that he sacrificed unborn children, but I think it might not make a massive difference. It's a theory I have (or maybe I got it from reading something of Draco's or something, I can't remember- feel free to correct me if I have this wrong or my theory is flawed regardless) that artifacts which normally react with a specific action will generalize the action if the same characteristic of the specific action is nearby and no other subject with the correct characteristic is near. For example, the Aztec Bloodstone has the user sacrifice a virgin of South American descent. Most likely, if there was no one nearby which had that specific characteristic, the nearest virgin would do. In this case, there are no pregnant women nearby, so the target shifts to the actual children instead.
