Seb Oakley

Sebastian "Seb" Oakley is a piece of work. Smooth talking, erudite and intelligent, but never lets you forget that he can make you dance like a marionette if he feels like it.

Seb is a tall, well-turned-out white man in his mid thirties. He has a slim, handsome frame and dresses in elegant blacks and blues. He has a large ear-ring dangling from his right ear in the shape of a crow's skull.

As the leader of the Midnight Krewe he's the main contact point for the group, even if he's not necessarily the one with the biggest reputation. He's known mainly as a schemer - he always has a few irons in the fire and it's impossible to know how much of a conversation with him is playing into one plan or other. He's a very convincing liar and can easily bring you round to his way of thinking.

Nobody's entirely sure how Seb died or when, as he tends to tell the story differently each time, but the one consistent quantity is the Geist that rides him - The Shattered Questioner. Nobody's entirely sure which of the two is in charge of his body, but it feels like a match made in hell. His Keystone Memento is a heavy black metal device that he swears, honestly, is just a grizzling nutcracker. The metal appears to be breathing.

Seb is the easiest of the Midnight Krewe to get in touch with, as he manages their presence on the Twilight Network and in the supernatural underworld of London. He's a big fan of meeting with parties that are enemies of the Krewe and talking problems out.

While nobody can exactly remember Seb stabbing them in the back, everyone acts like it's an eventuality someday.
