Rien Meneur

The Austere Monarch

director of despit, ruling alongside mirabelle du magnifique
born and raised in despit
born to a wealthy family
married mirabelle shortly before she became the ringmaster of despit
took it upon himself to look after vardan, after seeing them attempt to get mirabelle to do their bidding
watched on as guards punished vardan if they stepped out of place (might come up with bullshit reasons Just to see them suffer too?). might possibly punish them himself if on a sadistic streak
instructed to talk with paulo about anti-magic jewelry shit
went to cruise in mirabelle's stead, bringing along vardan

insipid. vapid. boring. bland
blunt
cruel and sadistic
like mirabelle, he uses force to get what he wants. not afraid to do so
"[...]Not really being someone who's skin you can get under. He's relatively cool, but it's like... he has ultra thick skin where nothing penetrates
Not even good things" - zetyr

5'6"/~167cm; average build
short grey hair kept neat
brown eyes
voice claim
keeps a taser on his person, in case prisoners act out of line
no one has seen him without his hat. rien takes it off when he feels particularly ~venturesome~

General

family: mirabelle du magnifique (wife); benedetta acerbi (sister-in-law); eileen acerbi (sister-in-law); kaleb acerbi (nibling-in-law)

marriage to mirabelle was a political move. pretty easy for someone to tell neither of them harbor any positive feelings towards one another, let alone romantic
Mirabelle: "I urgh love you."
Rien: "Yes, quite right."
despises vardan; the hatred is mutual. looks for any opportunity to punish them
tolerates ethan at most; shares similar conservative beliefs
