Calescent is a Hobgoblin [Spice Chef]. A member of the Flooded Waters Tribe, he currently works at The Wandering Inn

Appearance

He has a stout figure, which is a result of his belief that a Chef should taste their own creation before it leaves the kitchen.

Personality

Calescent enjoys making all of his dishes spicy, regardless of his diners' personal preference. He also insists that Goblins should eat at least twice a day, knowing from experience what was like to starve, even making spice-less food, which for him is a crime against cuisine, if it means that they properly eat. He is kind-hearted and earnest in his desire to know non-Goblins, as evident by him trying to become friends with the Healer of Tenbault. Calescent has a sharp memory, being able to memorize a complicated meal request from Falene after hearing it once. He has an acute sense when it comes to cooking, and can discern whether or not some food has gone bad, such as when he had a funny feeling about some Eater Goat meat (which was contaminated with plague by Tolveilouka).

• He named himself Calescent, which was a word as much as a name, after he had learned it from the only cook-book he’d ever possessed.
