Loyal Retainer in [One Shot] Murder on the Eberron Express | World Anvil

Loyal Retainer

Whether a personal servant or mild-mannered sidekick of the victim, you’ve been by Egan’s side for years. You seem to grieve for him the most, but you also knew all his secrets and had to clean up after all his messes all these years… was he ever even grateful?   You were very loyal to Bakker because Bakker had helped you long ago and kept one of your deepest secrets.  

What you know

  • Bakker used people then discarded them.
  • You know that he knew that the Heir’s mother had come to him and Bakker paid her to go away.
  • He did not care that the Spouse is unhappy, so long as they do not leave him.
  • He was blackmailing the Train Conductor (Pol) for something that happened years ago.
  • House Cannith West has already accepted Bakker.  

    Who you know

  • You’ve been with Bakker longest, so you know the Ice Queen (Matt)
  • You have lived with Bakker for years and so you also lived with the Spouse
  • You knew the Former Business Partner (Justin) but kept your distance.
  • You met the Conductor (Pol) but kept your distance.
  • You saw the Heir as a baby, but they will not recognize you
  • You have seen the Lover (Chu Yi) but not spoken to them  

    At the time of the murder

  • You were in the Ice Queen’s (Matt) cabin  

    The player must decide

  • Who is the Loyal Retainer really?
  • What is the awful secret Bakker kept for you?
  • What is your real relationship to the Ice Queen (Matt)?
