Stewart MacDonough, also known as Fearchar, is an Unseelie Satyr Wilder and a master chef in the Tuath of Iron in the Kingdom of Caledonia.
Overview[]
Fearchar mimics the sluagh in his preference for whispering, but the sluagh are much too pretentious killers for his tastes. He prefers the quiet precision and aesthetics of poison. Fearchar will go to great lengths to diversify his stash of fatal potions. One favorite is the poison in two parts; each element in itself is harmless. But when the two come together, a virtually untraceable death results. Fearchar often employs down-on-their-luck Kithain and mortals to make trips around Scotland to gather certain herbs and animals for him. Rarely, though, do these poor patsies realize exactly what they're getting themselves into. Fearchar can come across as a very kind patron, if he chooses.
A master chef in mortal seeming, Fearchar runs Bana Sithean, "The White Fairy Hill," one of the best restaurants in Glasgow. Fearchar's twisted sense of morality prohibits him from ever performing a hit in the restaurant proper; however, he often uses it as a place for meeting clients and brokering in lives. On the other hand, he isn't at all above sabotaging other fine eating establishments, and more than one restaurant has gone out of business after a food poisoning scandal.
Fearchar is also the head of the Shadow's Market.

In his human seeming as Stewart MacDonough, Fearchar is a sharp dresser. He wears tailor-made suits, a fresh carnation in his lapel, and an elegant Rolex. His clear gray eyes and dark hair make him irresistible to female customers. When in the kitchen, he dons the usual black-checked pants and white tunic; the kitchen is his studio, and he keeps only the best equipment there. In fae mien, Fearchar's hair is a deep chestnut brown. He constantly wears a polite smile, never revealing his true nature.
Personal[]
Stewart acts charming and genteel to the clientele, and never loses his temper with anyone. Nothing ever ruffles him too badly. He answers slights with a quick and definite response, however, and uses others accordingly; they're here solely for his benefit, anyway.
