## Biography

### Events Prior to the Game

Convicted of corporate espionage, cyberstalking and harassment, and hijacking cybernetic implants, Peaseblossom met and became an associate of Oberon's in the prison that would go on to become the Fae. Since then, Peaseblossom has involved himself with Oberon's work but has, on occasion, worked with Titania.

He is said to be a parent to 'many' children, but the only child he acknowledges is Cobweb due to her mother knowing how to kill him.

### Interactions with the Party

Peaseblossom was one of the first Fae introduced to the party and has quickly become the most contentious. Considering himself to be something of a "free agent," he has engaged with the party both in friendly and antagonistic ways.

Shortly after the party arrived on Avalon, Peaseblossom was the first person they met and, surprised to see Eli with them, was quick to deliver everyone to Oberon. While Oberon was *conferring* with Clara, Peaseblossom found another member of their party and brought everyone together to discuss their eventual return to the Strand. During this conversation, the Triplets asked the party to a sparring match, and Peaseblossom agreed to oversee the fight -- putting a stop to it once the party began to injure the Fae women.

Once Oberon reveals his intent to stage a war against the gods with Trafarna as its battleground, the party inquires about Peaseblossom's feelings on the matter but he isn't fussed: he cares little for mortals and, so long as Oberon doesn't interfere with his own work, he is happy to serve at Oberon's pleasure. Nevertheless, he has coffee with Aedryan and, although he does discuss hints about Oberon and his obsession with Trafarna, he claims to have little knowledge about the Fae king's plans. Nevertheless, he offers Aedryan a crystallized leaf that can be used to summon him should the party be in trouble.

Later, when the party was facing David and the Fated citizens he was puppeting, Aedryan summoned Peaseblossom for assistance. Although he seemed put off by Aedryan and Simon's blossoming relationship, he still agreed to help and offered to provide the party with either a method to incapacitate the Fated or to incapacitate them for the party, asking Aedryan to choose. When asked to focus on the Fated while the party finds the god, he agrees but offers a word of advice before acting: to remember the creatures that the party has bargained with and to think carefully on how to phrase requests when making bargains, as not everyone is as kind as he is. Then, he summons *bain sidhe* and orders them to kill all Fated in the city before vanishing.

It was thanks to this action that, when Oberon offered Peaseblossom's assistance on the voyage to Veitium, the party balked and requested Eli instead. He would turn up later, after the party found themselves at the Resistance's HQ, to bolster their argument for why the Resistance should ally with the Trafarnese court. With the alliance confirmed, Oberon ordered Peaseblossom to remain in the Ebrian Isles to help build an embassy for the Fae; however, Oberon also asked Peaseblossom to help the party in Trafarna once they returned to Astrapolis -- but he refused and abruptly vanished.

The next day, Eli and Victoria spotted Peaseblossom at Nalina's salon, with Aedryan's fourteen year old sister, Cora, on his arm. When questioned, he claimed to have sought permission from their mother and insisted that Aedryan's attempts to keep them apart would be tantamount to kidnapping, making a scene for the crowd about respecting parental rights. It wasn't until the king did issue a decree calling for the investigation alleged parental neglect by the Seycilia family, that Cora was able to be kept away from him.

A short while later, after Cecily and Hendry were kidnapped in Halcythorn, Nalina offered up Peaseblossom and Lysander to help find the missing nobles; however, it was soon revealed that Peaseblossom kidnapped them on Titania's behalf. As the party investigated the matter, Chae came upon Puck and Peaseblossom and attempted to interrogate them regarding Cecily and Hendry's location, but Peaseblossom was evasive and disinclined to offer serious answers. Puck would eventually admit that he and Peaseblossom kidnapped them and dumped their unconscious bodies in the Raven estate.

Just before the royal wedding, it was revealed that Peaseblossom had been spending time with Cora and offering her information about her sister, driving a wedge between the two. Despite Prince Theo's best efforts to keep them apart, he still managed to find and hang around the young woman at the wedding reception. In an effort to avoid bloodshed, Anastasios got between the two and encouraged Peaseblossom to leave; however, that did not put an end to Peaseblossom's efforts. He would later reveal to Puck that he's been sneaking in and out of the palace, but never reveals why.

Peaseblossom would later provide assistance to the party in the form of life-like constructs stationed throughout Cleiya and within the Cleiyan royal palace, as part of the spy team's efforts to shake things up in the city.

He also offered up his own home in Ormiers when the Resistance was attempting to make their way to the Ducal Palace, hitting on Thea in the process.
