The Gentleman Caller (NPC)
 |
This section contains canon info from officially published sources |
An elusive and ephemeral fiend, The Gentleman Caller has remained so much of a mystery that even sages and fiend hunters such as Dr. van Richten have yet to discover his true goals or even his true nature beyond that he is a fiend. What is known about the Gentleman Caller is that he is a manipulator, a seducer, a tempter, a corrupter, and in general a bringer of Evil to the Land of Mists. For example, he sired Malocchio Aderre, the dreaded Dukkar, with Gabrielle Aderre.[1]
In fact, is an incubus who is striving to escape the Land of Mists. To this end he has undertaken an innovative, far reaching breeding program. Given his aim, he and his children are of the upmost interest to Azalin Rex. Indeed the raison d'être of the Doomsday Gazetteer project seems to be the identification of his spawn. He is pursued by his nemesis, Isolde.
