Absalom Laureat Character in Palimpsest | World Anvil

Absalom Laureat

Until recently, Absalom Laureat was the Vizier of the Noble Laureat Family under the constellation of the Tailor. He and his then-wife, Damasque Laureat, were bannished from the Noble Court, and stripped of their Nobility, in a Whisper Vote on Goldday, Tinkermoon, 1313.

Mental characteristics

Personal history

Scrapday, Tailormoon, 1288
Marriage of Absalom and Damasque Laureat. Damasque had just turned seventeen and Absalom was about to turn twenty one. The two were married the day before their official Court appointment as nobles.
Needleday, Tailormoon, 1288
Laureat's were estabished as the noble family under the Tailor constellation, through the Lord Captain Emissary's scheme to bring more Human families into the court.
Givesday, Soldiermoon, 1308
Katib Hugo Dargent, whose secret romance with Katib Castor Stargazer had caused something of a court scandal, broke off his engagement to Absalom's daughter, Satine. The next day (Takesday), House Dargent appeased the Laureat Family by offering their older son, Subvizier Victor in Hugo's place. The Laureats were pleased to accept this politically better match, even although temperament-wise, Hugo might have been the better partner for Satine.
Goldday, Tinkermoon, 1313
Damasque and Absalom were banished from the Noble Court in a Whisper Vote on the charges of illegal magic. It is likely that without Lindie Asklepa's interferance (framing Absalom with a "smoking gun" in full view of Katib Cody Bakerstreet), the Vizier might have received a "forgive" verdict.

Social

Family Ties

Damasque Laureat: Absalom and Damasque got divorced after the Whisper Vote in which they were both banished from the Noble Court. Absalom had voted to banish Damasque from the court, which was (understandably) considered a betrayal.
Satine Dargent-Laureat: Absalom seems to have gotten on relatively well with his daughter, Satine. When her engagement to the "Spare" Dargent son (Hugo) was abruptly ended, he was content to exchange the engagement for the Dargent's more-prestigious Subvizier (Victor).
Dulcinea Laureat: When Absalom asked his mother, Dulcinea, to accompany him in bannishment, she refused.
