Aldern Foxglove
Lord Aldern Foxglove
A Chelish nobleman from the city of Magnimar, Aldern is in the area to restore his family seat, Foxglove Manor, which lies about a day's journey down the coast towards Magnimar and actually predates the founding of Sandpoint by several decades. The place has a local reputation for being haunted, especially amongst Varisian populations who have christened it "The Misgivings" making it very hard for Aldern to find skilled craftsmen willing to do the work of making the structure properly habitable again.
The party is also suspicious that Aldern is not as wealthy as he tries to appear. They also blew him off about a hunting trip into the tickwood. It apparently didn't go well in their absence.
Aldern has been revealed to have been devoured by ghouls and raised up as the Skinsaw man. A freak of undeath, a ghast with all of its memories. The creature that inhabited Aldern's flesh possessed his shattered psyche as well, consisting of at least three alters besides the host personality. They were His Lordship, The Hurter, and The Skinsaw Man. His lordship was fawning and sycophantic towards Lemmy, a clear object of his obsession. His lordship favored killing Shayliss Vinder and wearing her skin to woo the aloof and hard to get object of his fascination. The Hurter was a protective instinct Aldern developed to protect himself and regain control from his last alter the Skinsaw Man. This final creature is an unrepentant murderer, believing that he shapes the world and the future to his god Bhall's liking by plucking people out of the pattern of life.
