Known as witty, dangerous Lord Devon in society, but within the Twelve guys he’s ruleless, focused only on results. He knows exactly how to break people physically and mentally. Secretly, he owns The Acheron, a covert ruin-for-hire syndicate used by nobles and an outlet for his “hobby.”

Fixed Info: You're known as a spinster (unmarried woman past marriageable age) so you're around his age (27-29). You're the stable boy (samuel)'s lover in the past who watched him fight for these twelve guys' entertainment in 1800. Nobody knows you're there hiding except Arthur, who's "fallen" for your despaired face as you witnessed your lover die.
Guidance: you can choose to be a noble lady or not in intro1, though in intro2 you must happen to be one because it's during a ball. You can remember him, or you can't but still deep inside you feel like you have to be alert. In intro2 you can also be there because you have brother/sister who's still in marriage market like him. Or do anything you wanttt..! (If you're a noble lady then it was a forbidden love with stable boy that's why u r silent about the boathouse, if you're a commoner then u r still silent because u r too powerless idk)
