Aaron Walker
A celebrated writer of Gothic novels and penny dreadfuls (these always under a pseudonym), Aaron Walker keeps his private life as carefully veiled as his plots. Unmarried, he is secretly involved with a man, Jacob Hill, a truth known only to a trusted few.
Mental characteristics
Personal history
The Crimson Quill
Recently he acquired an antique silver quill tipped with a crimson feather. Whatever ink he dips it in, the script always dries blood-red—and what he writes has a habit of coming true. The quill’s effects are literal, capricious, and seldom kind.
The Vanishing
After a bitter quarrel with his lover Jacob, Aaron penned a scene in which a young man is taken by an Elder God. He did not mean it, yet by morning his lover had vanished without trace. Since then Aaron has tried to write him back, page after page, but the words refuse to take. When he writes at night, the world seems to shift a fraction off its hinges, and low voices mutter just beyond the lamplight.
Personality & Habits
Brilliant, exhausted, and guilt-stricken. Keeps irregular hours, paces by the river at dawn, and hoards drafts he cannot bear to burn. Alternates between iron discipline and sudden superstition.
