Author's Note: "Pavelock investigations in a dark Victorian setting where dark magic and civilization clash. VERSION 1.2 ( More to Come ) "
Pavelock, a dark fulcrum of a Victorian era, is a city divided between civilization and the shadow of forbidden magic emanating from the underworld, a realm of fae creatures with arcane arts. The law and faith in the Great Father, protected by the zealous Iron Sisters, stand against this subterranean threat. The Academy, a special police force with superior powers, ruthlessly hunts these creatures and their accomplices.
In this rigid society, the half-bloods – half-orcs and half-elves – live marginalized, relegated to the lowest jobs. An illegal black market thrives on the hunting of fairies for their intoxicating dust. But the deepest corruption nests in blasphemous pacts: rich and poor alike strike dark deals with the fae in exchange for power and eternal life, often gaining only deformity and decay. Pavelock is a city on the brink of the abyss, torn between the dim light of civilization and the seductive darkness of forbidden magic.

appearance
An elderly human male with a gaunt and pale face, deeply wrinkled and an aquiline nose. He has small, dark eyes that peer from under bushy grey eyebrows, and a sparse grey beard. His narrow shoulders and long arms give him a curved appearance, while his agile, bony fingers are perfect for puppetry. He always wears dark, worn attire, including a black coat and dark leather gloves, fitting for the dusty atmosphere of his theatre.
personality
Grimsbane is solitary and taciturn, rarely seen outside his establishment. He is enigmatic and detached from the audience, allowing his puppets to convey the stories. Behind the scenes, he is a meticulous, obsessive mechanic with a sharp mind and a deep understanding of human fears. His shows reflect dark themes, and he is a secret-keeper, keenly listening to his audience, which fuels rumors of his Underworld connections and the true nature of his creations.
backstory
Grimsbane, the enigmatic manager of the Mechanical Puppet Theatre, arrived in Pavelock years ago with unsettling puppets, gaining an eccentric reputation. Rumors suggest he traveled extensively, learning ancient, perhaps dark, mechanical techniques. His theatre is a popular, cheap entertainment for the lower classes, featuring macabre and moralistic tales. Whispers hint at Underworld ties through his creations or youthful pacts.
