Description

Mephistophelian-looking - tall, dark, imposing, with a face sharp and pointed, a magnificent rack of curved horns and an equally magnificent beard and mane, and eyes the color of hellfire. Walks with a pronounced limp. Typically wears a sharp business suit over a black sweater, or, less formally, subtly militaristic rivethead-style outfits. His chimerical garb complements that with a dense mantle of torn burlap and numerous chains wrapped around his body. A bell of dull-colored metal rattles on a leather collar on his neck.

Interests: German history and literature, kink, industrial rock, cookies.

Bio

  • 1982 - Born Jan Niklaus Sauer.
  • 2003 - Emerges among the Kithain after a Chrysalis during a wild student Christmas party at Cooper Union. Connects with several Nocker residents of Goblin Town attending the same party.
  • 2008 - Goblin Town destroyed by rampaging Chimerae. Klaus's acquaintances are never seen again, and presumed perished.
  • 2010 - Becomes a "point of gravitation" for the local Unseelie community, and a de-facto mastermind of multiple hijinks. Positions himself as a "mustache-twirling villain", which leads to the development of NYC's distinct Unseelie style once described as "mostly harmless performative villainy".
  • 2012 - The Crystal Egg Affair.
  • 2013 - Opens the Arson lounge, which doubles as an underground BDSM club.
  • 2014 - The idea to acquire a Kindling Stone to light a Balefire in NYC begins floating around. A group of Kithain, with Klaus among them, undertakes a quest to the center of Goblin Town. The knowledge acquired during his previous visits helps him lead the party to avoid several Nocker traps. Upon return, Klaus "usurps" the seat of the Freehold's Baron - although, in fact, no one else really wanted the job.
