Biography

Supposedly, Oreaux had been given the power of prophecy as an oracle, but the visions also driven him mad. He was attended by several wives. Satina was his first wife and served as his interpreter, for in his madness he could be incoherent. Furthermore, he was restrained in a chair so as to not injure himself or others.

During the search for Dominick the Butcher, he called Dominick to the presence of Marie the Blind Juggler, Morcastle, and Hermos, whom tried to apprehend the butcher for the alleged murders of several carnival freaks. Later, during Carnival l'Morai's war for freedom from the City of l'Morai and the Puppetmaster, all of Oreaux's wives were killed save for Settina. Marie attempted to enlist Oreaux's gift of prophecy for a course of action, though the war had obscured his sight. As interpreted by Satina, he said all the rebels would lose their lives in the wake of Marie's rebellion.

At the end of CoF, the freaks and performers of Carnival l'Morai are led out of the domain by Hermos. Oreaux may have gone on with his wife to join Carnival (Society).
