"S"

"S" is the in-game author of the Doomsday Gazetteers, and thus, the narrator the Ravenloft Gazetteers. As such, there is a lot to say about her, but I do not want to dig through my books to find it. Over to you, RL Community!

Canon

"S" is an accomplished vivisectionist, carving up a paralysed wolfwere in Kartakass, and an accomplished torturer, passing very interrogation techniques to Teodorus Raines while in Nevuchar Springs.

S has fought shadow fey before, whom she compares to the Math Muinner so favorably spoken about by the Oak Faction of Forfarian druids.

Potential Canon

"S" is one of Azalin's clones from the Grim Harvest project. For some reason, she turned out female. She studied at the University of Dementlieu around 735 BC.

Netbook Canon

Professor Viktor Hazan of the University of Richemulot and the Fraternity of Shadows dismisses "S" in these terms: "a stern scholar for whom I once sat as token out-ofbranch examiner in Darkon. She tried to impress the Brautslava cell’s admissions committee by her superior wit, yet failed the second figment quiz. Her own arcane interests, she’d sullenly retorted, lay elsewhere. It’d been a while since I saw her work in the occult journals; I wondered what had happened to her and what kind of trouble she was involved in now."

Behind the Scenes

According to John Mangrum, "the concept of S evolved from a pre-gen PC I used in several adventures (including "The Heart's Final Beat" and "Farewell to the Flesh") named Marie DuChance. (Note, however, that S evolved far beyond her origins. You could put S and Marie next to each other in a scene and I doubt anyone would suspect that one was based on the other.)"
