Keep your head down.

The old timers are closing shop. Dukes are taking vacations. No one agrees on what the deal is with the Cryptophage. But here’s what they’re saying:

He has a shaved head with engorged ticks instead of hair.

He is the eye biting man.

He is the Comte de Saint Germain.

He is the anti-Comte, who seeks to tear down the Clergy.

He is the last of the phobomancers.

He gains his charges by taking them from the Dukes he kills.
