Chapter Five: Characters

This chapter provides an in-depth look at the pivotal Non-Player Characters (NPCs) that drive the chronicle's intrigue. While primarily a comprehensive reference for essential figures like Ansen, Gerard de Chatelle, Maria Asunción, Ambrogino Giovanni, and François Villon, the chapter is framed by several deeply evocative locations spanning the turbulent summer of 1794.

From the squalid slums and blood-soaked revolutionary prisons of Paris during the Reign of Terror to the eerie tranquility of an Alpine graveyard in Innsbruck, the coterie's encounters with these key figures are fraught with danger. The journey may even lead them to the opulent but decadent manor of Don Pietro in Budapest or an occult shop in Deva hiding a nightmarish cathedral made entirely of living flesh.
