Should have got that. That name appears in all Tuesday crosswords - but usually in the clues!

DEVISE = Plot

Parsing: DEMISE (Usurping) with M (master in downfall) missing and V (five) in its place

Very nice, seamus - I didn't see it. However I think you have two bits backwards. DEMISE is the "downfall" and "usurping" indicates the substitution of V for M.

It's a pity that posts in this forum cannot be edited, so one has to get it right the first time!
