View source for Cinnabar Calomel

==First Impressions==
At around twenty summers of age, '''Cinnabar Calomel''' is lean and wiry of build and stands maybe 5'9" in height. His fine-boned features hint at some [[elf|elven]] heritage, an impression reinforced by slightly pointed ears and eyes of pale grey. His hair is silvery white despite his apparent youth, and worn cropped short into unruly tufts. 

He dresses in clothes of fine quality but practical cut, usually favouring a loose linen shirt, a doublet and britches of soft leather, and comfortable knee-length boots. The skillful tailoring of his clothes and the surpassing quality of the matched rapier and dagger at his belt indicate a man who not only appreciates excellent craftsmanship but can also ''afford'' it, though he steers clear of the gaudy ostentation and vulgar showiness often displayed by nobles and dandies. 

==Currently==
Idealistic, well-spoken and possessed of seemingly boundless youthful enthusiasm, Cinnabar Calomel is a relatively recent arrival in [[Myrken Wood]], but one who seems destined to make his mark upon the territory. Already he has played an integral role in the establishment of the [[Myrkentown Constabulary]], following his appointment to the newly-created position of [[High Constable]] of [[Myrkentown]] by former Governor [[Coriolanus Helstone]]. 

Calomel was responsible for the Myrkentown Constabulary forces involved in the [[Battle of Haberdasher's Row]], in which a mob of disenfranchised citizens under [[Altias Bromn]]'s direction and accompanied by a contingent of [[Brotherhood of Janeiro|Janeiro]] soldiers commanded by [[Aeryn Karolinger]] marched against the Meetinghouse with the goal of forcibly removing Governor Helstone from office. After a brief stand-off and even briefer skirmish the dissidents were successful in their endeavour; in the process six Constables were slain and many more were injured, including the High Constable himself.

Cinnabar has since recovered from his injuries sufficiently to return to his duties; he also continues his training as an apprentice swordsman under the tutelage of [[Tempestro Starr]], and takes care to spend time each day going through drills, forms and exercises, further honing his skills. He has on occasion crossed practice blades with [[Agnieszka Kaczmarek]] and come off the loser against the more experienced fencer, which is something he seems intent on rectifying. 

When not attending to Constabulary business or engaged in bladework training, he is most often to be found exploring [[Myrkentown]], or passing time at the [[Broken Dagger (Inn)|Broken Dagger]].

==In Others' Words==
[''This is a place for other characters' views on Cinnabar, for good or ill. What they might say if asked for their opinion on the fellow, if you will.'']

Cuthbert:  He's fast... he caught my rabbit.

Agnieszka: "I like him -- this Head Constable thing ain't gone to his head like it would for most. Oh, yeah, and he still has a long way to go 'fore he beats me, no matter what he says!"

Ariane: "Cinnabar's done me a favour which I do not forget, and when there are not politics between us, I reckon him for a friend. He plays a fine game of chess, but be sure that his are the <i>white</i> pieces; the colour suits him better."

Deost: "Calomel? Why are you asking me? You have questions, ask him. Good day, sir." 

Glenn: "Cinnabar? You ask me, he's got as good a head on his shoulders as anyone in Myrken, a bit too good sometimes, you know? Still, we'd all be better off if the Council would just let the man do his job."

Glenn (looking back): "Oh hell, did I really say that? Watch what you wish for and all that, right. No, seriously. I trust Calomel with my life."

Zalin: "Messer Calomel? A good man, all in all. It is a rare thing to find an authority with as much common sense, discretion, and sense of justice. A rare honest man."
