He holds the Relic of Survival, the Compass of the Last Escape.

FearsBeing cornered with no way out — the one situation the Compass cannot answer.

MotivationsPower and security for Twinport and himself. Initially coordinated with the Black Cabal on behalf of the Moonguard. After Gorefist's fall, switched allegiance to Starfall and offered army recruitment.

Campaign Notes

DM only — campaign-sensitive material

Black Cabal operative coordinating with the Moonguard. He brokered the kill contract on Gorefist along the chain Griva → Sildwell → Faust. The Moonguard contracted the Black Cabal to eliminate the Starfall council in ch-20, yet Sildwell switched to Starfall in ch-21 — his defection from the Moonguard's agenda is a live tension. Formerly a paid informant for Pax Nox and the Black Cabal, he sent word about Mac's construction of automata and about Aet's existence. He appeared as a presence in Twinport during the Tinkersville session, ch-13.
