I think it depends on the Brightness as well as the Contrast.  Only in a
low-Brightness, low-Contrast setting would Dominic inform Asmodeus.
There are two reasons for which Dominic might inform Asmodeus, neither very
Bright: either he's in cahoots with Asmodeus and it's more important to him to
maintain jurisdiction than to win the war, or he's sufficiently self-righteous
that he thinks any demon who isn't actually in the process of redemption
already deserves punishment by the most expedient means (in this case, being
captured by the Game).
(I'm not sure how Asmodeus would fit into a high-Brightness low-Contrast setting
though.)
Actually in any setting, it's more likely that Dominic would inform Yves, Marc
or Jean than Novalis.
