Pablo Di Montoya, Court Bard
Pablo figured out two things very young: how to make money, and how to be loved by the people who give it. He had reasons to learn fast. A nobleman named Ruugen murdered his father when he was a boy, and the two sons swore to become the best in order to avenge him. Inigo chose the rapier, to kill the man. Pablo chose the courts, to kill his name. Every salon that welcomes him is one more door closed to Ruugen.
Describe him
He noticed you before you were through the door, and he comes to you as if you were old friends. His voice is warm, his delivery flawless, every compliment landing at the exact moment it will please. The jealous smell self-interested seduction on him; the ladies, elegance and wit. He always has a morsel from the buffet in one hand and a light question on his lips. He remembers every answer.Play him
Play life as a stage play in which he is both actor and audience. Let him court shamelessly, even under the husband's nose, soothing the man with a honeyed phrase while winking behind the lady's back. Never make him haughty: he judges no one and treats the stable hand like the baron. When someone speaks Ruugen's name, leave his smile exactly where it is. And hold, beneath the polish, one simple rule: anyone who has given him a reason to respect them, he never leaves behind.What he says (rarely)
"My lady, your husband has impeccable taste. He married you, didn't he?""My friends dine with me, or I don't dine. And I am very hungry."
(smiling, never stopping to refill his glass) "Ruugen? Charming man. Not for much longer, in this room."
Song
With lute in hand and tales to tell,
I bid my humble home farewell.
Oh ho, the wide world calls my name.
For fortune, fun, and feed-eating fame A song and story close at hand
A dragon, green and sly,
who tried to steal my berry pie.
I sang a tune so sweet and clear, it forgot its hunger and its fear
Oh ho, the wide world calls my name.
For fortune, fun, and lead eating fame A song and story close at hand
A winding path of morning dew.
The sun ascends,
the day is new.
