Connections
Revealed he was once a crawler
Displaced from his own world many solars ago, he crawled a dungeon himself and reached the eleventh floor before deciding to go no further. Born a skyfowl, he became a Changeling on the third floor, and his shape changes each time his guildhall moves.
Current form
His infobox shows him as a Rat Hooligan, the form he currently wears as a Changeling.
Explained his last tour
Guildmasters prepare for years before each new world; his employer's advance team reached Earth in the 1930s. This is his last tour: afterward he becomes a full citizen with a modest stipend, free to travel, though his home world is closed to him.
Changeling form changed
With his guildhall on Floor 2, his Changeling form became a Bugaboo: a seven-foot, bear-like creature with no neck, owlish eyes and absurdly thin limbs.
Refused Odette's invitation
Told that Odette wanted him to seek her out, he flatly refused, saying he preferred thousands more years alone in his room to dealing with her again.
Revealed his crawl class
He was a Changeling Fire Mage Arcanist on his crawl. He almost chose the skyfowl Storm Commander class, but Odette talked him out of it; his brother took it instead, on her recommendation.
