Victor “Rat” Quibbles

Victor "Rat" Quibbles is a half-elf bard that The Unexpectables first encountered in the Tracadian city of Fort Barcelette as an "unofficial" member of the Moonkite circus working odd-jobs. He is quite notorious in Barcelette as a magnet for causing trouble, or at least being present when it begins. He joins the party in their quest to find the man known as Pilchard, after they chased off some small-time criminals who were holding him up for yet another of his misadventures. He acted as a local guide, and the experiences that follow would allow for him to get his feet wet as an adventurer. Rat is a cheerful and upbeat type who has a rather romantic view of adventuring. He is a fan of epic tales and feats of derring-do, all of which he has read about and quotes with shocking precision whenever a situation reminds him of a particular story. He is also painfully idealistic, believing the best in everyone around him, including those who obviously wish him harm. Given a choice he will always advocate for peaceful negotiation before violence, at least when it comes to sentient creatures. However, if talks break down, he is more than capable of engaging in a fight. He has a terrible penchant for mischief, intentional or otherwise, and is quite ignorant or dismissive of any negative comments or consequences of his actions. He generally claims to be everyone's friend, though the actual list is likely to be very short outside of The Unexpectables.
