## Storyline

### New Lands, Old Faces

Ce’cell is introduced to the Listener by Jackal as an old contact. Ce’cell asks to touch the Listener’s face seeing that tieflings can get a small glimpse of their past and to make sure their intentions to him are pure. He calls the Listener pure but rebellious for fighting against the social order (presumably with the Mad Emperor), saying that he senses no bad intentions and agrees to offer them his services.

Jackal asks for a moment with the Listener and pulls them aside, asking if the Listener will allow it if he poisons Ce’cell. The Listener calls him jealous and asks him to play nice which Jackal stubbornly agrees to. The Listener then asks Jackal if there was something between the two of them which he denies, calling it ancient history.

Ce’cell interrupts their discussion, suggesting to bring Jackal and the Listener to a spiderkin that tells fortunes in which Jackal calls it a scam. He asks the two travellers to trust him and says that if it turns out to be a waste of time, he’ll be owing Jackal a favour. The Listener agrees and they head off to the spiderkin’s tent.

In “Charming Spiderkin Reads Your Future” Nioh mentions both Jackal and Ce’cell are waiting outside for the Listener.

Ce’cell and Jackal are standing outside of Nioh’s tent with Ce’cell bickering before the annoyed mercenary asks him to shut up and they wait in awkward silence as they wait for the *Greenlander Mage* to return.

The tiefling greets the *Greenlander Mage* as they return, asking of their experience with Jackal asking about what they learnt from the mystic.

Jackal feels disheartened, seeing their clue is vague and leads to nowhere. Ce’cell butts in and explains to the demi-human that he doesn’t know the place well enough to find his way, but he agrees to tell the travellers what he knows if the *Greenlander Mage* asks him nicely. The sharp tongued man asks them if they plan on keeping the stubborn cat around until they find someone more interesting which makes Jackal extremely angry and threaten to cut off his tongue. The impatient tiefling hurries the *Greenlander Mage* into asking him "nicely", making them ask more than once before he gives an answer.

Ce’cell reveals that he knows several areas that are filled with underground ruins on the continent built by a race known as the *Kasven*. Locals who don’t see the ruins as forbidden see them as cursed which makes it nearly impossible for them to find a guide that is willing to bring them there. Ce’cell asks Jackal to consult with the *Greenlander Mage* to consider making him their guide before they make a decision and leaves them alone before barging back in when they finally come to an agreement.

The Tel’on tells the both of them that they will need to leave early in the morning and asks them to retire to bed for the evening. He plants an intrusive thought into the *Greenlander Mage*’s mind by asking if Jackal ever said “I love you” to them before he leaves.

On the way to the ruins, Ce'cell leaves the travellers to set up camp for the night as he scouts out the road ahead.

## Personality

Ce’cell is a sly, manipulative, talented and money minded man. He’s incredibly confident in the way he speaks and how he describes himself. The things he says on purpose to rile Jackal up or to make the *Greenlander Mage* question their partner shows that he’s incredibly manipulative. Everytime he mentions a job or a request, he follows up by asking for payment and talks about money in one way or another.

He is flirtatious in nature but seems to only want to befriend or charm those who he will benefit from (like the *Greenlander Mage)* and uses his smooth talking to gain their trust*.* He’s observant, being able to catch on to little details in situations and is able to tell what information someone needs at a given time, holding those back so that he can further extort them or get under their skin. He calls his work “charity” and says that he’s “fulfilling a demand” when it’s evident (from what he did to Jackal and the merchants he extorts) that he’s doing the job for his own benefit.

Being well educated, having the ability to get glimpses of people’s past and being able to tell someone’s intentions (with or without the information) added to his mysterious demeanor, no one actually knows how much information he has. The observation that Jackal doesn’t talk to him unless Ce’cell starts the conversation first and is incredibly hostile when responding to him shows that the tiefling has a way of twisting one's words in attempts to wear them out emotionally.

## Trivia

### Fan Theories

* He was probably the one that saved Jackal and asked him to go to Domeras, it would be too much of a coincidence(or he would be too much of a stalker) if it was a coincidence
