Dumont also held some love for his "niece" Larissa, but she kept her in the dark, as he did almost everyone, to his ultimately selfish nature.

	A year prior to the events of [[Dance of the Dead (Novel)]], Dumont engineered the [[disappeared\|disappearance]] of [[Gelaar Redtree]]'s daughter [[~~Ariadna~~ Redtree]], by placing her within a magical [[prison]]. Gelaar was an [[illusionist]] by trade and became a valuable contributor to the Pirate Pleasure's success through the creative use of his illusions.

	In the then-sleepy town of [[Nevuchar Springs]], Dumont presented the Pirate's Pleasure and the treats of Le Demoiselle to great aplomb among the [[elves]] that dominate the town.

In the then-sleepy town of [[Nevuchar Springs]], Dumont presented the Pirate's Pleasure and the treats of Le Demoiselle to great aplomb among the [[elves]] that dominate the town.

The baron ultimately proposed to her, a gesture which set about the series of events that led to Dumont's fleeing of [[Darkon]] into [[the Mists]].

	Emboldened by her baronial lover's expression of love, Penelope confronted Dumont not only to tell him she intended to quit working for him but also to gloat about her intentions to reveal Dumont's activities as a slaver. In response, Dumont [[strangled]] her to death and left her [[cadaver]] in her quarters, hoping to pass the blame for her [[murder]] to the baron. However, Baron Redtree's [[investigator]]s and the possible involvement of [[the Kargat]] pushed Dumont to direct his ship into [[the Mists]]. He told his employees only that the murder was Baron Redtree's doing and that he was trying to pass the blame onto them.
