Broltz

Broltz Vermissian Sage

Broltz spent his durance acting as a spy for a high class brat who viewed himself as an artist and had a politically connected father. His master was of course not interested in suffering for his art, but made sure that Broltz did regularly. Broltz was constantly observing his master's rivals, stalking them, hiding in uncomfortable places, posing as servants, etc. to discover their hidden mistresses, vices, debts, and other embarrassing secrets for his master to use as blackmail. He was often sent to sabotage other artists as well. And sometimes he was just sent to do basic research for his master that he was too lazy to look up himself, seeing Broltz at the library or pestering academics regularly to answer such burning questions as "What effectively removes ink from a mask?", "What art supplies can cause intoxication?", and "What are the exact laws concerning blackmail?"
