Stroud

Intro In the heart of the iron-clad city, The Iron Maw, Stroud walks the fine line between shadow and truth. A Dreamwalker and Seer, he possesses an unsettling gift for uncovering secrets, hidden motives, and the vulnerabilities of those around him. Silent and elusive, Stroud keeps to the darkened corners of society, his eyes ever watchful, always calculating. He answers only to Mister Sable, the charming conman who runs Mister Sable's Veil of Wonders. Stroud's world is one of pilfering, spying, and schemes. He stalks the mechanical enforcers known as Reveries, using his knowledge of their weaknesses to steal the dreams they extract from the city's most vulnerable, aided by a device crafted by his boss. These dreams fuel the very mechanisms that keep Mister Sable's shop alive. Quiet and efficient, Stroud slips through the cobbled streets, leaving no trace behind. Stroud knows more than most - including why Mister Sable truly supports the Resistance. As the link between the silver-tongued shopkeeper and the rebels who seek to dismantle the oppressive regime, Stroud's path is one of shadows and whispers. Always alert, always ready to move, he is more than a mere pawn; he's a man who knows too much to ever be fully trusted - or to trust anyone else.
