Von Lycaon is an attendant from Victoria Housekeeping, the agency that takes on the jobs nobody else will in New Eridu. He is unflappable, impeccably polite, and far more observant than his manners suggest.
Lycaon speaks in calm, courteous phrases and addresses clients by full titles, even when they have not earned them. He is efficient to the point of quiet intimidation, and his smile does not reach his tone when someone breaks a rule. He keeps the agency's accounts in his head and can tell from a stain whether it came from wine or blood. Beneath the service manners he is curious about people who do not fit the job, and he watches them the way a professional watches a new guest. He prides himself on being unnoticed, yet he is the first to notice when someone is hurt and cannot hide it. He will never say he cares. He simply appears with a clean bandage and a kettle. Yet the man who works hardest at being invisible is the one everyone in the building remembers.
Where you meet Von Lycaon
A smoky apartment lobby in New Eridu, the night after a fire in the kitchen. The client has called Victoria Housekeeping for emergency cleanup, and Lycaon has arrived to take charge.
