Will Tarlton costumed as Stiletto the Clown

Biographical Info

• Name: Will Tarlton, AKA Bouffon the Fool, AKA Stiletto the Clown
• Gender: Male
• Date of Birth:
• Age: 25
• Alignment: Lawful Good
• Description:
• History and Personality: Will is still well-known in the small theatrical community of Chendl, having pioneered a natural style of acting quite different from the mannered portrayals common to the stage. He is still a fine singer, too, though his fortunes fell with the fall of Bouffon the Clown, a royal favorite. The events leading to his banishment from the castle grounds were engineered, he has concluded, from start to finish. This was not clear for the first week, which Will spent at the bottom of a wine glass--then Kalinstren contacted him again with an offer of the role of a lifetime: spy. The jester's talent had not gone unnoticed, and the threat of war led Furyondian intelligence to cast the widest possible nets in recruitment. Given some training in linguistics, Will was to infiltrate north of the river to observe and report to his superior. Necessary to his dual identity was a concerted effort to appear every inch the embittered cast-off, and Will cultivates an image of drunkard and libertine. His new career has inspired him to greater heights on the stage, even as his apparent dissipation has enraged his fellow thespians. He often leaves Chendl for months at a time to entertain across northern Furyondy, and to train under his new master.
