Sir Thomas No More
Formerly an expert on the Cthulhu Mythos, the fallen noble Sir Thomas No More lives in seclusion in their laboratory, where they experiment with alternative societies made of ink, whether utopian or dystopian. Their goal? To chart humanity’s possible hopes by warning it against its worst flaws, and to broaden the horizons of its faith by confronting it with its own truths. When the ink darkens their mind, they enjoy working themselves into a frenzy with a paintbrush (on miniatures).
