Thibault Emeric Couture
Sobriquet: Couture to the Cour, Thibault to the lowers.
History: Thibault was the third born son of a very rich aristocrat. His older brother would inherit, his next older brother was trusted to the church. Thibault was trained in business and culture, finding his passion in painting. The young man was finding his sense of art slowly, feeling very unsure about what he wanted. He was also coming to grips with the fact that he liked the sadistic side of sex.
He became very well known at court for his work. Ashamed of his predilections, Thibault threw himself into his painting, trying to find the beauty in the world to hide the darkness in his soul. While his happy, sunlit paintings were amazing, his paintings showing depravity were revolutionary in their use of symbolism and color. The Gallery La Plus Belle Peinture set him up a show, selling his dark avant garde paintings to the rich of Paris.
Thibault was approached one night by a beautiful, golden woman who was admiring his watercolor "A Dove waiting for Sunrise". He was very attracted to her, and over the next two months found himself buying clothes and taking her to the Opera. One night, while watching a reading of "Never Bet the Devil Your Head" by Poe, Thibault found himself being drained dry. Elizabeth had brought several new printing houses under Francois Villon's control, and he had given her permission to embrace the young painter.
Thibault learned the ropes of kindred society, becoming more jaded and hungry for new sensation as he watched the years pass. In 1788, Thibault came across twin sisters singing in a dive bar in the 16th Arrondisement. Enthralled by the beauty of their singing, he began to try to influence their "uncle" to sell the girls to him. The uncle refused, and Thibault was reduced to only renting them by the night.
The uncle of the girls demanded more money for their sale, and Thibault found it more rewarding to just kill him, and take the girls for himself. Now unrestrained by needing to return them in one piece, Thibault began to ghoul them, and then use them for his twisted desires.
Appearance: Thibault is slender, with nicely cut blond hair and blue eyes. He often wears expensive slacks and form fitting shirts to show off his cut body.
Behavior: Thibault is at once suave and well mannered, and at the same time an arrogant ass. If he thinks you are not of the same social status, he has nothing but scorn for others.
