Philip Moulin: The Desert Kiss Once a healer and scholar, Philip Moulin was seduced by a djinn and cursed to steal the very breath of mortals. Across centuries—poet, doctor, heretic, and monster—he sought redemption but always found ruin. In An Elegy in Crimson, his long confession unravels, one stolen breath at a time.

Philip has been brought to unlife by Brian Schoner (he/him), he is a creature of games in every form. Dice that rattle like bones, boards stacked with peril, glowing screens that devour the hours, even riddles of the mind. When he strays from the table, his bass guitar fills the air with something dark and low. A hypnotist, too, yes, you heard me. Beware his voice, it coils. He co-hosts the Ascent of Board Games podcast (ascentofboardgames.com), weaving cardboard dreams and paper empires. And if you must pursue him into the ether, seek him on Bluesky at @bschoner.bsky.social. Follow, if you dare.

Philip Moulin: The Hollow Breath Episode 2 of An Elegy in Crimson: Philip Moulin follows Philip’s first steps into monstrosity as he abandons his humanity and learns the terrible cost of immortality. Alone and hungry, he builds a system to feed, hides from those who would expose him, and discovers that every attempt to control his nature only deepens his damnation.

Philip Moulin: The Fractured Cross In Episode 3, Philip’s pursuit of knowledge leads him down forbidden paths as faith gives way to obsession. His search for truth awakens forces far older and darker than the Church he once served, leaving only ruin in the wake of revelation.

Bakumba: The Scion of Ogun In the searing heat of the forge and the cruelty of chains, Bakumba’s story begins—a tale of bondage, fire, and rebirth. From enslaved blacksmith to immortal hunter, his vengeance is tempered in flame and quenched in blood.

The mortal who breathed life into our mighty Night Beast is Troy C. Banks. Darling, he is a delectable contradiction. Father, widower, professional chef, and lousy golfer. After a long hiatus, he returned to the gaming table, dice in one hand and chef’s knife in the other. If you wish to summon him, look no further than @cheftroyb_culinarian on Instagram. The link is posted in the description. Troy is also available as a Personal Chef who will serve you experiences, not just meals. His reward? An empty plate… and perhaps your soul if you linger too long.

Bakumba: The Strange Fruit Blooms Red. Bakumba’s legend grows darker as the centuries bleed together. Feared as the Chain Rattler and the Harasser, he turns the shadows into his gospel—hanging hunters, silencing monsters, and delivering justice where mercy dares not tread. Yet even the eternal must face new devils, and the Night Beast finds no peace in a world that will never stop birthing sins to punish.

Bakumba: The Cradle of Pain. The Night Beast’s legend reaches its darkest hour. As the crows gather and the strange fruit sways, Bakumba’s war between vengeance and justice burns hotter than ever.

Freya: The Stranger of Winter. In the frozen wilds of 9th-century Denmark, Freya of Vargheim lives as all good women are expected to—tending hearth and husband, silent as the snow that buries her world. But on a night when the wind howls like a dying god, a stranger comes to her door. He offers no comfort, no warmth—only freedom.

Freya, The Shadow of Ulvenholt has been brought to life by Aly Bogue (she/her). Darling, she— an unapologetic gamer, hobby baker, and devoted servant to an extremely judgmental cat. You can often find her haunting Third Floor Wars, embodying something suitably unsettling.
