Vincent Moreau

About

Scarred by revolution and transformed by dragon magic, Vincent Moreau collects antique lighters like talismans of his past rebellions, each flame a whispered memory of battles fought and ideals burned into existence. His ember-bright eyes hold the rage of a forgotten movement, smoldering with a revolutionary's unquenchable passion that threatens to ignite everything around him.

Backstory

Nobody expected the museum's most notorious thief to return stolen artifacts with handwritten apology notes, but Vincent Moreau had always been backwards about everything. The dragon humanoid's compulsion to steal antique lighters began after a childhood accident fused an ancient phoenix-blessed Zippo to his palm for three agonizing days, leaving him able to taste the emotional history of every flame-touched object he encountered. Each stolen lighter whispered stories of last cigarettes, final love letters, and dying wishes until the weight of their memories drove him to return them with notes explaining what their flames had witnessed. His mother Lyra, a blacksmith who forged fireproof safes for the city's elite, never knew her son could read the secrets hidden in scorch marks and ash. The antique lighter in his pocket—the one that started it all—still burns cold against his skin, a constant reminder that some fires consume from within rather than without.
