He was employed, first as a hall boy and later at various higher-ranked tasks, by the Earl of Sidcup and his estate. He left the Earl's employ three years ago, entering the service of late Major-General Antimony1 Bushness. When General died, Butler almost immediately recieved an offer of employment from an unspecified party. |
The letter, written in cramped spiraling letters, revealed that said unspecified party would be "indisposed, for a time" and his "earthly affairs" could use the tending of a keen and able servant. The significant cash advance removed any lingering doubts. | The letter, written in cramped spiraling letters, revealed that said unspecified party would be "indisposed, for a time" and his "earthly affairs" could use the tending of a keen and able servant.

After steading himself on a nearby parapet, Butler found his way to the correct complex. The doormen recognized him without a word: the monks he passed on the stairs bowed their heads. | After steading himself on a nearby parapet, Butler found his way to the correct complex.

| − | Butler can hear the vague nondemnomentational prayers of servants, local or otherwise, sometimes without any special effort on his part. He also recieves rumours, secret information, and details untold without any apparent effort. Servants recognize him, perhaps unconciously, as a Lord of Servants. He knows he can inspire a servant to impossible feats or shatter their loyalty with a gesture. Without apparent effort he knows the correct title for any (undisguised) person, entity, or concept (a difficult proposition, to be sure) that he encounters. | + | Butler can hear the vague nondemnomentational prayers of servants, local or otherwise, sometimes without any special effort on his part.

His lifelong love of reading and observation has given him a keenly honed mind, able to discuss philosophy and fashion with equal ease. To intrude, interupt, override, or question a superior would be, of course, unthinkable. As the Lord of Servant he can command any being that serves... but has little hold on free men. | His lifelong love of reading and observation has given him a keenly honed mind, able to discuss philosophy and fashion with equal ease.

Closed black flower with six sharp petals, overlapping. The stem consists of tightly spaced leaves, and rises from a field of grass which melds into the background, standing in stark contrast to the black of the flower. | Closed black flower with six sharp petals, overlapping.

Untrained eyes might see only one flower, but Angels know that grass too blooms, even if the flowers are closed and hidden. | Untrained eyes might see only one flower, but Angels know that grass too blooms, even if the flowers are closed and hidden. | ||
