Marcel Landeau is a reformer within the Blood of Vol, a rising star with no connection to the Crimson Covenant. His writings have gained broad circulation within Karrnath, preaching against the secrecy that the abactors use to radicalize members. While he does not know the truth behind the abactor's schemes, he has seen plenty of evidence of some dangerous secret society within the faith that continues to push restless youth into the Order of the Emerald Claw. He has also made an enemy of many warlords, calling for an end to the constant militarization of Karrnath and for an inward focus on peaceful renewal. Player characters may find any number of reasons to call Marcel an ally, as Marcel has managed to make an enemy of many of the most powerful people in the nation.
