Dossier: Remy Talbot

Cover sheet:

Summary Page:

Desmond Kote is wise to have me start with the youth known as Remy Talbot. Like many Ustalavian’s the Talbots took the last name of the most successful side of their family. The name Talbot brings to mind skilled woodsmen and rangers, as would another name they descend from, however this name would bring a gasp even to an inquisitor’s lips. Remy Talbot is the direct descendant of Mathus Mordrinacht! 

The supporting documents will show Remy to be a seventh generation descendant of Mathus and if legends are true, destined to become a Dark Hunter. I have tasked Quinley Basdel with searching The Quarterfaux Archives for more precise information regarding these Dark Hunters.

Unfortunately records are not well kept in the Shudderwood but young Remy believes he killed his father, also accursed with his silvered sword, Desna’s Remorse. If he is truly a hunter born, as I believe he is, then he merely doomed his father to the curse to which their line is born, activating or awakening his weapon in their blood. There are only 4 known “hunter” weapons, one is lost or hidden, one I believe in the possession of Remy Talbot with the remaining two safely locked away in our Master’s collection. Inquistor Kote divinations will come true should the 7th son fulfill his birthright, his path will intersect with all of us.

Thirty pages follow detailing and supporting summary.
