Robert Gauldamon

Robert Gauldamon is an aristocrat of Mordent, a rare surviving scion of the Gauldamon family and a misogynistic murderer, musician and madman.

Background

Robert was born as half of a pair of fraternal twins. Growing up, he was extremely close to his sister Roberta Gauldamon, with whom he shared a love of music and song. Initially, the twins trained together, but when Robert's talent and skills surpassed Roberta's, she became insanely jealous and started avoiding him, much to his distress.

In the summer of 583 BC, Robert met a beautiful woman named Lisette during a nature walk, who offered him a kiss for a song. Unaware of Lisette's true nature as a Leanan Sidhe, Robert was seduced and almost died due to repeated draining. A band of mercenaries, hired by Robert's worried parents, exposed Lisette and drove her off, but not before she clawed Robert in the throat, nearly killing him and destroying his beautiful singing voice.

Traumatised by his experiences and the loss of his voice, Robert sought out his sister in hopes of mending the rift that had come to separate them. He found horror instead, as he discovered Roberta and Lisette together in the forest, worshipping a grinning Fiend. Upon hearing that Roberta had actually sent Lisette to prey on him, and that the Fiend had been transferring his drained singing prowess to her, Robert went insane. He fled wildly, blindly into the Mists, content to be lost forever.
