Madame Araby Tuvache

Madame Araby Tuvache owns the tiny walled estate of Jerretiere in Pont-a-Museau. She resides in Tuvache house, the ancestral home of the Tuvache family, to which she has added a clock tower. Her husband, Renault Tuvache, turned out to be a wererat, and the young wife traded her wedding ring to the local alchemist for the vial of silver-mercurium with which she poisoned him to death. She managed, remarkably enough, to rebuild the depleted fortunes of the estate by luring adventurers into the basement of Tuvache house where the giant rats of the sewar system put an end to them. She would subsequently strip the remains of their wealth. she soon had enough money, even more remarkably, to add the clock tower and create the Puppetworks, one of the greatest feats in clockwork making and mechanical engineering in the known world. For during her brief marriage she had acquired a passion for clockmaking and indeed possesses an extraordinary apptitude for it. Her madness runs in the direction of the macabre. The puppets are made of preserved corpses. She also has a fondness for collecting individual body parts in jars. Upon her death she is fated to become a greater animator possessing the Puppetworks.
