Marquett de La Ruinne

> "You...you adventurers...you've hearts of gold, you know that? It takes a certain kind of person to go out of their way to help others. We've all got our own secrets, sure, but as long as we do not tread on each others' wants, what's to stop us?"

Marquett De La Ruinne is the leader of The Storm in Ferrenport, and is an enthusiastic man who wishes to do good deeds throughout the city in order to build the reputation of the Storm, so they are not suspected of harbouring ill will.

### Personality

Marquett is an extremely confident (sometimes overly so) paladin of justice who sometimes lets his pride get the better of him. He has a notable amount of wisdom for his age, and has been seen as the calm island to those around him in stress.

### History

Marquett was found by the party in a slavers wagon, near unconscious having been beaten to within an inch of their life:

"Marquett has been beaten to within an inch of their life, injuries peppering their body like chickenpox on a sick kids face. Purple bruises block one of their eyes from seeing entirely, and their body is bound by chains to the roof of the wagon. They have been de-armoured, wearing rags that do not even cover their shame as they are left hanging. Tear lines run heavily through the dirt, grime and what you can only presume is their blood as they hang there, near dead."

### Quest History:

#### The Gathering Storm

Marquett was rescued from the slaver's wagon, and thanked the party profusely for their help. Leslie took them inside upon their return to Headquarters, where they have been recovering and resting since. In this rescue, his weapon and armour were also recaptured.

##### Where were your wares when the werewerewolf attacked?

The party was introduced to Marquett once more, who had returned to proper health after being sold to slavery. Marquett warned the party that they off to face a lycanthropic enemy at Palacartes Farm who had (after bursting from the barn it was being held in) had all but vanished. More shockingly, none of the surrounding farmland was damaged in any way, leading Marquett to the conclusion that the lycanthrope had shapeshifted and was still on the property. On their return, Marquett rewarded the party well for their efforts, whilst not seeming to mourn the lost of Roxin as much. Huh...

##### Sylvia! What are you doing with that shark!

Marquett, now a bit healthier, directed the party to head out and take on the Vampire Sharks with Leslie on Leslie's boat with great haste, while they stayed back in Ferrenport to deal with the ensuing PR disaster that would be likely taking place after they had heard reports of mercenaries attempting to try and claim the sharks for themselves without having the skills or equipment to actually defeat the creature. They also were saddened to hear of the death of the other members of the Storm.

#### It's Growlnd Hog Day!

Marquett, now fully healed, directed the party back to Palacartes Farm to battle Growlnd Hogs, that were threatening both Palacartes Farm and the new recruits that the Storm had brought in their recruitment drive. They told the party to act more seriously when the party joked that they had heard of those abilities in a book, informing the party that the creatures could kill and take over the body of an ally and not be able to tell the difference, and that it had killed 4 of their members.

#### Welcome to Cultacon!

Marquett, now better than they were before, was one of the attendees at Cultacon, sponsoring their own tent and an entrant into the Poisoner of the Year contest, by the name of Sosin. Through the deductive skills of the party, they were able to not only implicate him for masterminding the deaths of Marzello and Marzello's clone earlier that morning, but additionally tie him as the alter ego of The Night. However, before they could be arrested, they were able to teleport away and avoid prosecution.
