From publisher blurb:
Rodrigo, a once-celebrated actor, has become a legend and a nightmare, blending elegance with menace. Renowned for his lifelike marionettes and unparalleled charisma, his rise to fame was driven by a hunger for greatness. This ambition led him to the Relic of Sealed Souls, a cursed artifact that granted immortality at the cost of draining his audiences’ life essence.
Now, Rodrigo’s performances are sinister rituals. His puppets, animated by stolen souls, enchant and ensnare new victims. Beneath his polished demeanor and velvet coats lies a chilling presence; his piercing gaze unsettles and disarms, while his melodic voice lures individuals into his deadly web.
Rodrigo seeks not only to sustain his cursed existence but to transcend it, becoming a timeless entity whose performances shape reality itself. His invitations to the Macabria Theater promise grandeur but deliver only death, making him a charismatic and terrifying antagonist for any adventuring party.
