Mean Claude
Ghoulish, tuxedoed organizer of The Urina (Session 3); sharpened teeth, grey
sucked-back skin, a sly tipped hat. Brother of Mean Diesel, the arena's jacked
grey boxer/announcer (who only fights non-lethally). Heading to Orathos to break
the legs of debtors who fled there.
Session 4
- Ran the sign-up/prize desk: booked Silithane's "Minute to Hit It" exhibition
and honorably set the prisoner's own sword aside as the prize. - Won the Knife of Ooze Spreading bidding war (one claw-machine play + a dusty
bottle of sewer wine, against Thalia's secret 5-mint bid) — then proved the "con"
item actually works by spreading a chair into two dimensions. - Mean Diesel sent a letter ahead to him in Orathos via Thalia's mailbag. (A
grey, gangly "Mean Kord" also mailed a letter at the arena desk — possibly Claude
misheard.)
Session 8
- At Fort Foothold with Mean Diesel, the brothers power-posing shoulder to
shoulder in the thoroughfare and recruiting a mean squad (so far: a knee-high
mean halfling and a 5'4" mean half-orc in a wife-beater). - Thalia delivered Mean Diesel's letter; it was read, eaten, and washed down
with hard liquor — followed by the overheard whisper: "We don't have feelings and
we don't write them down."
