Nicolette le Farre

There is no God in this place. Just His echo. You can hear it in the crumbling mausoleums – in the ivy-choked gravestones rotting in their cemeteries. You can hear it in the doleful churches; empty of worship…except to pay respect to the dead and the gone. It is a farce! But a funny one. A carnival full of people in ugly masks. Hiding how empty they are inside.

Nicolette is empty too. She sold her heart and sold her soul. Sold more than she could pay and then sold more besides. But she bought, too, the things that have made her rich. She has bought status and power. Influence and a place to belong. A place in Hell. There is still no God here. Not one Nicolette can hear. But the Devil and his servants answer when you call. And they are so very reasonable…

So reasonable that the things they ask are trifles. So here Nicolette is. In the old city. Seeing to a trifling matter: the debts of Lord Ambrose Hygarth Jackdaw. Many and varied, he has defaulted on them all! But debts unpaid rarely vanish. And there are always others to collect from!

Adaptation (Mythos)

Nicolette knows black magic and how to summon and bind the Hellspawn in service to Satan. While this power grants her abilities that defy the laws of nature, rarely are they goodly by temper or capable of helping people directly – lest they want to pay a price…

Mystery: How could a man slip through the Devil's fingers?
