Dr. Triboulet is a CAS expatriate from Baton Rouge, a wealthy mortician who works out of a crematorium in Downtown Seattle (though he lives in Bellevue). He maintains a cheery disposition, even and especially when dealing with the subject of death, and his one vice is a deep love of expensive elven wines. Wine and perhaps the occasional uncouth joke at his room-temperature patient's expense. He rarely talks of his home life, but anyone visiting his office can tell he's a married man, with a young daughter he dotes on and a wife spoils.

Dr. Triboulet is a CAS expatriate from Baton Rouge, a wealthy mortician who works out of a crematorium in Downtown Seattle (though he lives in Bellevue). He maintains a cheery disposition, even and especially when dealing with the subject of death, and his one vice is a deep love of expensive elven wines. Wine and perhaps the occasional uncouth joke at his room-temperature patient's expense. He rarely talks of his home life, but anyone visiting his office can tell he's a married man, with a young daughter he dotes on and a wife spoils. He's the very picture of the well to do family man living his best life. Odd to find such a man working in the Shadows. It would be easy to assume the family is why he's delved into the criminal underworld of Seattle, that he spends his life with his hands buried in tepid guts and dealing with some of the most unsavory characters in the city because he has a wife with expensive tastes and a child who's future needs to be ensured... and that assumption would be wrong.
He does what he does because he loves it.
Charles Triboulet has been enamored with death since he was a child after his mother died under mysterious circumstances, and when he learned how to use spirits to manipulate the dead he was hooked. He views it as an art form, something to be proud of. If he is an artist, then focai he creates are his brushes, and he loves nothing more than knowing his brushes have gone on to help a fellow artist perfect their craft. He's willing to sell to anyone, and his customer base is varied indeed, but he prefers to work with awakened characters who follow the necro-mage tradition, or those who demonstrate an advanced knowledge of the undead. It goes without saying the 'morality' of his job is the last thing on the good doctor's mind when conducting his work. Bodies come in, he does his work, and he never asks where they come from or what becomes of them after. That's just business in Seattle.
Dr. Triboulet will take money for his services, but he's hardly in much need of it. No, what he desires is new materials, rare reagents and resources to make new and more grand expressions of his artistic ability. Given the chance to work with rare enough parts, he may even be willing to waive the fee entirely.
