The Cursed Chosen

## Purpose

Evil characters chosen by Bellevue Rami to be warped by cursed energy into the perfect candidates to become the new Cursed Faces of God. They are necessary for completing a second paladin ritual and by the time the reach the Cursed City would be almost completely enthralled.

## The Six

##### Bellevue Rami - Cursemaker

Apprentice of Chaos and Curse. Harbinger of the Second Cracking.

##### Grena - The Cruel Head Mistress of the Orphanage

Accessory to the vile experimentation on children.

Vega regarded Grena very carefully. He knew why a woman seemingly so mundane had been kept in the company of a cursemaker. She never forgot anything. She was the ultimate extension of the life work of the patron of the orphanage and Bellevue Rami. She was a mind full of scrawling notes and details too easy for others to forget and too dangerous to write down. She’d taught Bellevue Rami his first curses. She had not the mind to conceive of them herself, but she never forgot the ones she had seen. She was a dangerous woman indeed.

##### Vega - The Greed Maker

Manipulator of curse energy to inspire greed in others so they commit crimes on his behalf. After which he kills them.

"Vega was a discerning man. He sought refinement and luxury that was reflected in the way he carried himself. It could be said that he sought to appear more than he was as he was very young, passing the middle of his twenties, and had grown up with little means. His hairline was already receding, and he kept a wispy mustache and goatee. Regardless, he was respected if nothing else because he always seemed to see exactly how the markets of Drastl would move and had a great deal of luck with money. This had garnered him practically honorary status with money lenders of the Bank of Hauk and a comfortable position among the Merchant’s Guild. Both were positions that seemed to reciprocate his knack for finding wealth."

##### Tri And Dri - The Unapologetic

Serial killers who've spent over three years on the rack without once apologizing.

"Tri and Dri, twin Cursemakers. They’re known as the ‘Unapologetic Ones.’ They’ve been under the duress of the Elders of Lat’Vatil for three years, and they haven't apologized once. They made a real mess of a lot of people’s lives. They’re favorite Curse was to drive people to such guilt they couldn’t live with themselves. Then they would follow their victim’s friends and families to make them feel guilty all over again, like their loss was their fault. It was a slow curse, designed to be as painful as possible for their targets. No amount of forced empathy could make them respond with anything but laughter and ecstasy."

##### Striga - The Innocence Taker

An evil criminal locked in the Bastion of Daybreak. He delighted in ruining children's minds by forcing them to commit acts of terror.

## Their Associates/Do-evilers

##### Barsum

"He regretted ever involving the old bat. On the one hand it was convenient to have a steady supply of resources, even if it meant the occasional favor. Unfortunately, she was like a lot of nobility. Selfish, self-absorbed, and utterly incompetent. It didn’t help that she liked to dabble in incanting and curses. She liked having someone like him available to do her dirty work and teach her the odd bit of incanting so she can satiate her boredom and call herself a scholar. It was disrespectful at best. Fortunately, she was also afraid of her age and supremely gullible. The thought of becoming a Goddess in exchange for doing his dirty work was too much for her to ignore." -Bellevue Rami
