Jeremiah (CTD)

Jeremiah is an Unseelie weasel Pooka Wilder who lives in Graymere Glen. He has a twin brother named Robin.

Overview

Jeremiah is flat-out nasty; all the bad things that Peter Pan's Lost Boys could have turned into, wrapped up in one furry little ball of spite. It's not that he's actively evil, it's just that he's utterly amoral; devoted almost exclusively to his own pleasure. His only noble impulses are directed toward his twin and, with Robin's growing devotion to Lady Sascha, even that tie is melting away. Jeremiah's anger comes more from the idea that Robin is paying attention to someone else rather than Sascha specifically, but she has become the focus of his malice. It is because of this that he has been receiving overtures from Lord Denis.

On his brighter days, Jeremiah is a joy to be around, devilishly funny, and charming. Most of the time, though, the laughter at his jokes comes as much from the relief of those who were not his targets as th humor of the jests themselves.

Image

In mortal seeming, Jeremiah is utterly indistinguishable from his twin. To Kithain eyes, though, there are subtle differences. Jeremiah is more muscular and fairer as well. Robin may be the image of a harmless squirrel, but Jeremiah has the predatory visage of the weasel. He disdains clothes entirely and is the epitome of the "wild child" image; all feral smile and quick fingers. Where Robin's eyes are green, Jeremiah's are a poisonous yellow.

Chimera

Jeremiah's chimerical companions, which he shares in some ways with his twin, are little tarsier-like creatures called "Smoofs" that clamber through the trees wherever he goes. They have soft, round eyes and brown fur and there are no real claws on their pink paws. They chitter and laugh incessantly, often speaking with human voices, and Jeremiah has discovered that they can serve much like a remote microphone. What one hears, the others hear as well, and a Smoof in a tree over Lady Sascha can really what it hears to a Smoof in Jeremiah's hand. Robin, while aware of this ability, hasn't put two and two together concerning what can be done with these powers. He prefers to play with them, and can spend endless hours grooming them.
