The False Killing

In 44 aS, Wave 28, Fulso was assassinated by an unknown attacker and left for dead in the central river of the Free City of Teel. Yet by nightfall, he reappeared unharmed, cheerful as ever.

Personality

Fulso is observant, enigmatic, and worldly, with unparalleled knowledge of Teel’s history and the lives of its citizens. His demeanor is rough but measured, often imparting wisdom, warnings, or cryptic advice to those who listen.

Tavern Career

Early Tavern History - The Wooden Maid

Fulso’s earliest recorded tavern venture was the founding of The Wooden Maid deep in the Great Forest of Juru. Despite sixteen years of operation, the tavern saw only two guests, an experience Fulso never speaks of. It taught him patience, observation, and the subtle currents of human and Juru behavior – skills that would serve him for centuries.

Mizar – Rise to Prestige

The Lucky Bastard

Seeking a livelier environment, Fulso moved to Mizar and took charge of The Lucky Bastard, a notoriously rough and chaotic den. Here, he gained recognition for his ability to maintain control over rowdy patrons and the city’s underworld. His tenure at The Lucky Bastard established his reputation as someone who could navigate danger with wit and resilience.

Crooked Tom

The Crooked Tom is a notorious tavern in Mizar, founded by Fulso during his rise to prominence. Known for its rough patrons and chaotic atmosphere, the tavern is as unpredictable as the city itself. Patrons can offer information, rumors, or secrets in place of coin, making the tavern a hub of gossip, intrigue, and hidden influence.

Alkor – The Bacalar

Eventually, Fulso relocated to Alkor, founding the Bacalar, his most famous establishment and one that still stands today. Unlike his previous ventures, the Bacalar became a hub of knowledge, secrets, and subtle influence, attracting travelers, merchants, and those seeking discreet counsel. Fulso remained the ever-present observer at this place for more than two thousand years, quietly collecting stories and histories from everyone who entered.
