Player: MJ Character: Bastien General Plans: Hanging out on the edges of action being lowkey charming and collecting info about people who forget to ask what his name is. Chilling out with the servants for cards/afterparties. On the watch for bard antics. Small apology tour with old artist friends who he cut off like 10 years ago and allowed to wonder if he was dead (though word will have already gotten back that he isn’t; it’s not a surprise resurrection, just an old dick move).
Mainly indoors and mainly in the High Quarter, but he'll go into the city proper sometimes to have a break from all these damn rich people and could be bullied (asked politely with no obvious excuse available) into anything else.
Pre-existing Halamshiral Reputation: With a few circumstance-based exceptions (hiring him, sleeping with him, being harmed by him, etc.) the nobility have no idea who he is. But he knows who they are. :)
Servants and staff may be more likely to remember him as a friendly musician who was a regular in Halamshiral and elsewhere for 15 years. Probably was up to something, but who isn’t.
Artists/academics who are old enough to have been around 10+ years ago are likely as not to have been his friends, for real. Or for as real as it got back then. Reputation as a good listener and above-average musician and fun time at parties and debates. But then he cut them off so he has some apologizing to do.
Bards will definitely know him by reputation — specifically that he’s Ines’ old partner and they’ll be in trouble with her if they fuck with him too much. Doesn’t mean they wouldn't, if required, but she's scary and that would factor into the equation.
