Employees

-- Grand Homme
-- The Frenchman know as Grand Homme is over two meters tall (roughly 6'8") and deserving of his title. He is a muscular young man with pale skin, light blue eyes and dirty blond hair. G.Homme serves as muscle, not security, for the Maison. Homme was born with the dual difficulties of mental retardation and physical Gigantism. This combination of problems quickly overwhelmed his rural family which struggled to feed several normal children. His conflicted parents ultimately abandoned him in a large old-growth forest believing he would live or die according to God's will. The boy was blessed when he was discovered by a party of woodcutters who brought him back with them and turned him over to the local church run orphanage. There he stayed for several years until the local orphanage was gifted with free tickets to a newly opened waxwork. When the show was over Homme stayed behind to serve the Fabricator out of love. Physically the "boy" is in his late twenties, but mentally he is roughly eight or nine years old. Homme is very sensitive to feminine attention, both positive and negative, but his stunted emotional maturity makes him dangerously unpredictable. He sees himself as the son of the Fabricator, a self created delusion, but one the Fabricator reinforces with cunning affection.
-- Le Bavard
-- The man now known as Le Bavard is a thief, swindler and a cutthroat. Or rather he was all of those things until he set his sights on a travelling waxwork in French controlled Vietnam. The owner was a beautiful young widow whose husband had died of Malaria leaving her stranded in a tropical foreign colony rather than her native Paris. He was only too happy to take over the day-to-day business affairs of the waxwork and at night to enjoy the feminine wiles of the new widow. His plan was simple: seduce the woman, steal her money and eventually sell the widow into a local bordello. But on the night Le Bavard attempted to carryout all his villainy he discovered that the Widow was not a widow, nor a woman, nor even human and it was he who was to become a slave. Now he services the Fabricator in other ways, primarily as her chief of security, but he still runs her daylight operation and from time-to-time he satisfies her other needs. While he still retains his memories and reasoning ability his will is completely subservient to the sorcerous enchantment of the Fabricator. For reasons unknown on every seventh day Le Bavard gains freedom for a few hours and during these hours he seduces local women and then kills them in grewsome fashion as an outlet for his pent up rage at his enslavement. He has even run away several times, but inevitably he comes crawling back to serve her...
