History
A “rockstar” of the Paris scaffold, he staged torture as spectacle, with his son, the “Eliminator”, as his second. The false Bluebeard, the host who usurps Bluebeard’s identity, smashed his face with lead. His change began during the torture of the Host Poker. Blind, he ended a prisoner of the sewer thieves’ network. His redemption before the Lady of Notre Dame took a whole day and culminated in a public retraction from the crypt of the Bastille.
He is depicted hooded before his workshop, holding both hands forward, open and empty, with the torture wheel and chains behind him.
