Story
QUICKSILVER GRIN
In den Stunden vor Morgengrauen stand QUICKSILVER GRIN,” Problem Solver” and Debt Collector, ein Kind von Fey, getragen von Schicksal und Geheimnis.
QUICKSILVER war nicht wie die anderen. Nicht besser, nicht schlechter - nur anders. Eine Melodie in einer anderen Tonart. Ein Farbton, den nur wenige sehen konnten.
Das Leben hatte QUICKSILVER geformt, wie es alle formt - durch Freude und Schmerz, durch Hoffnung und Verzweiflung, durch die tausend kleinen Momente, die ein Leben ausmachen.
Aber da war etwas in QUICKSILVER. Etwas, das sich weigerte, sich fügen zu wollen. Eine Stimme, die flüsterte, wenn alle anderen schwiegen. Ein Licht, das brannte, wenn die Welt dunkel wurde.
ein Geheimnis, das niemand kennt. Das war die Last, die QUICKSILVER trug. Nicht schwer genug, um zu brechen. Aber schwer genug, um zu spüren. Immer da. Immer gegenwärtig.
Die anderen in Fey sahen es manchmal. In den Augen, die zu weit blickten. In den Händen, die zitterten. In der Stille zwischen den Worten.
Aber sie fragten nicht. Denn so war die Art ihrer Welt. Jeder trug seine Last. Jeder seine Geheimnisse. Jeder seine ungeschriebene Geschichte.
Und QUICKSILVER? QUICKSILVER ging weiter. Tag für Tag. Durch die Labyrinthe von Fey, durch die verschlungenen Pfade von Macht und Pflicht und Überleben.
Wartend. Hoffend. Träumend von dem Tag, an dem das Geheimnis gelüftet würde - oder für immer begraben bleiben würde.

Backstory
Quicksilver was born from the blood of a murdered king, as all redcaps are. But instead of becoming a mindless killer, he discovered he enjoyed the structure of contracts and debts. He now works as an enforcer for various fey courts, collecting what's owed, sometimes in gold, sometimes in teeth, sometimes in memories. He's never broken a contract, not once.
Daily Life
He wakes at dusk, checks his ledger of debts owed, and spends the night hunting those who've broken their word to the fey. He returns to his hovel at dawn to count his takings and sharpen his hatchet. He sleeps in a bathtub filled with the blood of his victims, it keeps him strong.
