A tavern filled with lively music opens its doors, letting in a biting breeze. At the back of the room, surrounded by guests as playful as he is, Caleb Menkar rolls the dice. Winning a round with infectious laughter, he slips a few solars into his purse. His mug clinks with those of his opponents, and their rivalry ends in laughter.
The less discerning don’t question his origins when the company is so pleasant. No one would have expected him to go this far. It doesn’t seem so long ago that he was a young ghoul from the slums. Beneath his frivolous jokes and flair for style, however, lies a sharp gaze. This vampire does not trust appearances, and one would do well not to trust his infectious laughter.
Darkness finally falls on the inn as it empties of its patrons. Caleb Menkar finds himself alone by the hearth. Night is when he can truly operate. Grabbing his Golhir grimoire, he runs his jewel-adorned fingers over the words of his next magic spell. His low voice mingles with the crackling fire, the language of necromancy blending with the whistling wind.

Étienne has dreamed of owning this leather corset ever since he first started attending LARPs, some twenty years ago. Crafted by our talented artisans, the colors reflect his guild, the Sangs Sombres. He specifically wanted it made of leather so that the corset would provide him with adequate support. He is proud to have finally brought this project to life, showcasing the diverse costume possibilities for men of large build.
Underneath his corset, he wears a sleeveless shirt, and draped over his shoulders, a coyote pelt keeps him warm during winter evenings in the taverns of the Duché de Bicolline. At his waist, several accessories related to his character adorn. A leather bag bearing his guild’s symbol, as well as his belt and back loincloth, were crafted by a gifted craftsman from our St-Élie workshop.
His weapons of choice remain the Kaos Mace and the Ritual Knife. He also carries a custom guild dagger from our brand Nemesis, made specifically for his Bicolline guild. The other accessories, such as the numerous pieces of jewelry, are from his personal collection.
