Yes, it says 'C.B.' on his driver's license. No, it doesn't stand for anything. (So he says.) He's a young writer, recently arrived in town but a native New Englander. Fort Brunsett is a real nice place to write his next goddamn magnum opus. He's cranky, ornery, paranoid, sarcastic, skeptical, dark-humored and possibly crazy, but who is anyone to judge? As a man once said, what's the ugliest part of your body? I think it's your mind.
📣 Author (Fame 2) - C.B. is most known for his 2014 breakout novel, Young Man's Disease. A surreal Bildungsroman about several disparate American young men in the 1960s united by violence, it won widespread critical praise for its tight prose, caustic voice, and surprising time period accuracy. The movie rights have been optioned, but it's been stuck in development hell. He's also published a volume of short stories and one of essays, various op-eds, plays, and even some poetry. Another novel is slated for release at the end of this year. (Page for more details if you think you've read his works -- author page coming soon!)
📣 Alexander Family - C.B. didn't grow up in Fort Brunsett, but he's allegedly an Alexander all the same. Locals may be curious about his connection.
📣 Conspiracy Theorist, Mortal - C.B. is pretty tinfoil hat, you know -- he doesn't own a cell phone because They can track him enough ways already, he rolls his own cigarettes because Big Tobacco puts mind control additives in their smokes, and so on, and so forth. Why is he so paranoid?
📣 Conspiracy Theorist, Lost - C.B. is a Changeling with wild theories about connections between the government (US or otherwise) and the Gentry. Give him an inch and he'll talk your ear off about this.
📣 Betweener - C.B. is one of those Solstice Court guys. Good luck trying to get him to join the Freehold, or anything else for that matter. He willingly uses the derogatory term "Betweener" for himself and always has an eye out for Seasonal corruption, so watch yerself.
📣 Hedgebeast Companion - C.B. has one, an aloof Cymric Cat with fluffy paper fur named Yossarian. Yossarian usually prefers to stay at home, but sometimes accompanies C.B. on occasions when he needs an extra brain.
