Elmmet Patterson

Species	Human

Status	Deceased
Occupation	Councilman Thief
Residence	Lancrel (formerly) Riverfarm
First Appearance	Chapter 6.34 E

Elmmet Patterson was a [Councilman] of Lancrel and high-level [Thief].

Appearance

Due to his face-changing skills, he was able to impersonate anyone, for example he could resemble:

• A young blonde man, cleanly shaven
• A woman claiming to have seen the thief
• He was also shown to impersonate his victims.

His hand was not covered with hair, and long-fingered.

Personality

He seemed like a charming person, but looks can betray. He mistreated both his wife and his daughter, to an extent that was not explicitly stated in the story but that everyone at his trial judged as purely disgusting and unspeakable of.

Background

The city of Lancrel had had a thieving problem that even the local Watch Captain had failed to deal with.

[Councilman] Elmmet was accepted into Riverfarm's community together with other refugees from Lancrel, and he then worked together with [Councilwoman] Beatica, [Mayor] Rodivek and some other agitators to undermine the leadership position of Prost, in their joint attempt to gain political weight in the emerging community of Riverfarm.

Chronology

Being nearby when Elmmet committed yet another crime, Durene and Beniar managed to overwhelm the hooded [Thief], only for that person to be revealed as Elmmet. Quickly, some people of Lancrel started the rumour that he had been set up.

Among the vocal villagers that then emerged with demands to punish Elmmet corporeally, were Ram Shackl, Beycalt and Helm; while Beatica and Rodivek tried to exculpate him by claiming that Elmmet had been set up by the real, face-changing thief.

Prost acquired a truth-detection stone, but the enchantment couldn't prove consistently that Elmmet had committed the crime, because of his evasive answers that the stone wasn't able to process. The townsfolk from Lancrel, including Elmmet himself, obfuscated the situation, demanded a proper trial by an impartial judge and claimed there was a conspiracy and that Prost was controlling the truth stone himself. Hedag the [Executioner] appeared and could determine Elmmet's guilt with her skill of [Revelation of Sin]. She punished his theft by cutting of his hand; his beating of wife and child by striking him with a hammer; and his worst crimes by beheading him.
