New Students
Tamber Soot
"Act 5 Episode 6: Timbre was imprisoned in a nearby cell while Maine was in custody. Timbre whimpered and struggled to explain that they might have stolen something before Nora Rabe von Queef arrived. After Nora left, Maine heard Timbre’s squawks fade, then saw a prison voidling creature and Malevolus Krane behind it. Timbre’s immediate fate is unresolved. Canon clarification: Timbre is Tamber Soot’s private hexname, which makes Timbre a useful anti-Castro identity tell unless a deep-cover Castro has separately learned that hexname."
Tamber Soot, known as Timbre, is a 17-year-old kenku phantom rogue and abandoned courier from the Lonely Islands, now counted among VQU’s new students. True Neutral and guarded by necessity, they learned early that a voice can open doors, carry lies, or disappear without leaving a body behind. Their Witchborn voice theft lets them mimic any creature heard within the past day with near-perfect accuracy, bypassing even magical detection and making identity dangerously portable. As a courier, survivor, and student, Tamber moves between messages, ghosts, and secrets with quiet precision. They rarely raise their own voice, but they know how to borrow yours.
