While he seems to be a patient sort of man, the Frenchman also seems quite particular in his habits. Pouring himself a tumbler of cordial, even the way he adjusts the bottle just so before pouring, suggest a man given to an obsessive streak. "Ah, The Seawolf, yes. I assure you that the man you have is not the leader. You see, the leader has eluded my every divination. A most startling realization for me, being accustomed to finding people when and where I desire. As you experienced firsthand, Madame del Corazon." He refers to the sending magic he employed to contact Katerina right before the fight with the crewmen of The Seawolf."Whoever captains that ship has demonstrated a singular interest in opposing my efforts. He destroyed a ship in my employ three years ago, only two men survived, one missing his ears and the other his tongue. A grim message indeed." du Tourbillon sips the cordial, glancing keenly at Barrington and Nia Steeleyes. " Thus I have been forced to track this mysterious captain, this Loup de Mer, by more traditional means. An African slave ship in which the slaves rebelled in an orgy of blood and gore, with fury the likes of which the one slave who escaped the carnage described as inhuman. A Dutch merchantman whose dwarven crew, in the middle of entertaining an Englishman's daughter, erupted into paroxysms of rage and murdered the dinner party. With each trace, more questions than answers. Who is the captain of The Seawolf? How does he evade my divinations? And why has he set his sights on brining ruin to my ventures?"Pausing, the Frenchman sits down to rest his bad leg, "I thought I had evaded him this time surely... but there is one more trick I have waiting for him. Bring your captive to me. I believe I shall have use for this D'avard yet."</blockquote>
