He was involved in the first slave revolt against the seraphim that allowed the chimaera to take back their lands. A grunt is about as close as he comes to praise.īrimstone Madrigal's mentor and The Warlord's left hand. He always seems to know what Karou spends her wishes on. His job as resurrectionist requires patience and composure. He rarely shows even a hint of emotion, and almost never shows weakness or weariness. He has a pure soul and wants peace just like Karou. He is highly secretive, not giving up any of his secrets, such as the use of teeth or how he was able to glean Madrigal's soul. His voice is very deep, 'like the shadow of sound.' Akiva describes Brimstone's voice as 'deep as the beat of a stormhunter's wings, it seemed to lodge in the base of his skull and live there.' He was Madrigal's wise mentor and a father figure for Karou, and he offered protection and advice to both. Brimstone is very quiet and does not waste his words. He also carries a pocket watch.īrimstone is a hermit and is rarely seen outside his domain in Loramendi's west tower. The only ornament on his person is a set of jeweler's lenses on a chain and a plain wishbone that no one is allowed to touch but himself. Giant, yellowed ram horns spiral on either side of his face. His eyes are gold tinged with green and brown with vertical slit pupils. It gives way to scales around his flat ovine nose and reptilian eyes of a crocodile.

His head is roughly that of a ram, fleshed in the same tough brown hide as the rest of him. They taper to wicked, clawed feet that could be raptor or lizard. Below the waist he has the haunches that are covered in faded, off-gold fur that ripples with leonine muscle. His shoulders and back are etched in more scars, a network of puckered white cross-hatchings. 'His arms and massive torso are the only human parts of him, though the flesh that covers them is more hide than skin.' His square pectorals are riven with ancient scar tissue.

Brimstone is a massive, muscular, and heavily scarred chimaera of unknown race.
