By reputation, the individual known as Vorpal is worrisome. From one account to the other, he's been described as everything from "concerningly Wyrd" to "just this side of Them." The stories mainly revolve around impossible feats of agility and bladework, inhuman features like razored fingers and missing eyes, and an overwhelmingly Wyrd presence outright tangible to those nearby.

The reality of the man is significantly less (immediately) frightening.

While his Autumn mantle is of impressive stature, his Wyrd- while potent- is nothing like the worst of the stories told about him. He doesn't appear nearly so alien and detached, either. Perhaps they're exaggerated. Or, perhaps- it's not impossible, with years of effort and a dedicated Motley in support- to drag oneself back from the brink of madness, and reclaim some measure of one's humanity.

Watching him fight, though...

The stories sound less and less like exaggeration.
