“Rahja has blessed us with desire and passion, and the crafty Phex has given us this night so that we can indulge in Rahja’s will undisturbed and undetected. Let us honor them, my rose.”
Born a lesser noble, the charming Deriago goes by many aliases in the alleys of Vinsalt. “Rimaldo,” “Alrigio,” or even “Rahjacomo” are just a few of the names he has been known to whisper in the ears of potential mistresses while gallantly kissing their hands. He is said to have broken countless hearts, and his notorious liaisons are a source of constant trouble. Nevertheless, he makes every lover feel as though she is the only girl for him.
Discretion is his highest priority, as it is the only way he has managed to keep his head on his broad shoulders thus far. Despite his caution and his reputation as an excellent fencer, his notoriety attracts a long line of angry husbands demanding to duel him. Therefore, he is constantly on the run, or in search of a willing second, or, even better, a champion to fight his duels for him. Fortunately, his eloquence helps him make friends quickly and he always has enough money to treat a new friend to a cup of wine.
