'''Ratici''' is a [[Drakes|Drake]] [Thief] and a member of the [[Brotherhood of Serendipitous Meetings]]. Partnered with his friend [[Wilovan]], they are known together as the Gentlemen Callers.

== Appearance ==
He is shorter compared to other Drakes. He wears innocuous, brown clothes, and a floppy cap that helped with his neck-spines.<ref name=":A Night in the Inn">[https://wanderinginn.com/2020/05/03/interlude-a-night-in-the-inn/ Interlude – A Night in the Inn]</ref>

== Personality ==
He has a rougher speech, but as a member of the Brothers, he is polite, well mannered and shows common courtesy, especially to civilians.

He speaks in a fast philosophical way, being slightly wary that his opinions might not be heard in time or be stomped on. He tends to use fanciful words as a manner of deliberately heightening his speech.

He has an odd mix of contradictions, as while he likes ‘free’ stuff, he hates spending too much money on useless things, except for food as it is hardly that and he considered himself an object of paramount value. However he hates being seen as stingy. He also hates being seen as lower-class, but he <em>refused</em> to wear anything that looked ‘noble’.<ref name=":A Night in the Inn" />

== Background ==
He and his friend Wilovan, were born and raised in Invrisil. They joined the Brotherhood of Serendipitous Meetings. At some point, they became known as the Gentlemen Callers, two powerful Faces in Izril's criminal underworld.<ref name=":A Night in the Inn" />

== Chronology ==
Wilovan and [[Ratici]] accompanied [[Lyonette du Marquin|Lyonette]] to Oteslia who went to find a cure for Erin. After realizing that Fairy Flowers had been handed around the city, Wilovan and Ratici stole and destroyed the [[Faerie Flowers|Fairie Flowers]] in the city so that Lyonette, [[Saliss Oliwing|Saliss]] and [[Xif]] would have a monopoly on them.<ref>{{VERef|Chapter 8.07 L}}</ref>

== Quotes ==
* ([https://wanderinginn.com/2020/05/03/interlude-a-night-in-the-inn/ To] [[Lyonette du Marquin|Lyonette]]) ''“We’re much obliged for the menu, Miss. Might we inquire if there’s any specialties of this establishment which we have heretofore not experienced? Somethin’ a traveller might appreciate.”''
* ([https://wanderinginn.com/2020/05/03/interlude-a-night-in-the-inn/ To] [[Wilovan]]) ''“The [[Niers Astoragon|Tall Man]] pays and it seems after this [[Magnolia Reinhart|Lady Reinhart]] business that this is [[The Wandering Inn|the place]] to be. We may also practice our work in Invrisil with minimal effort. Think of that, Wilovan.”''
*[https://wanderinginn.com/2020/05/03/interlude-a-night-in-the-inn/ To] [[Typhenous]]:
**''“Ah, Typhenous. You wouldn’t happen to be runnin’ off, would you now? We’ve come an awful long way to say hi.”''
**''“Don’t be shy. We’re just here to have a nice chat, as it were, without the tit for the tat in this meeting at least. Take a seat. Can we buy you a drink?”''
**''“Don’t make us take off our hats, Typhenous. ‘Specially not here, with innocent children about.”''
* ([https://wanderinginn.com/2020/05/03/interlude-a-night-in-the-inn/ To] [[Wilovan]]) ''“I suspect we’ll find out. But insofar as we’ve seen, Wilovan? Who wouldn’t want to know more about an establishment such as [[The Wandering Inn|this]]? Let’s try that drink.”''
* ([https://wanderinginn.com/2020/05/24/7-24/ To] [[Wilovan]]) ''“Wilovan, that may be the most wounding thing you’ve ever said. It may be that stealing from babies and children is easy, as it were said by my peers, but is it honorable? I’d soon as cut one claw off.”''
* ([https://wanderinginn.com/2020/05/31/7-26/ To] [[Niers Astoragon|Niers]]) ''“Young woman. Female. Human. ‘Bout twenty years old. [Innkeeper], Erin Solstice. Yes, sir. Her room. We’ve checked multiple times.”''
* ([https://wanderinginn.com/2020/07/01/interlude-a-meeting-of-druids/ To] [[Wilovan]]) ''“…The [[The Wandering Inn|inn’s]] different. I’m seeing multiple holding areas, Wilovan. Either this [[Erin Solstice|[Innkeeper]’s]] leveled up or an [Enchanter] went insane. And someone’s already created multiple stashes.”''
* ([https://wanderinginn.com/2020/09/02/7-43-g/ Inner Dialogue]) <em>Dagger under the floorboards. Dead gods, that [[Numbtongue|Goblin]] was paranoid.</em>
* ([https://wanderinginn.com/2020/09/20/7-48-k/ To] [[Wilovan]]) ''“Wilovan, if I were to vouchsafe a theory to you, would you consider it?”''
*[https://wanderinginn.com/2020/10/14/7-52/ To] [[Erin Solstice|Erin]]:
**''“We’re criminals, Miss Solstice. Call us a gang—call us [Rogues] if you like. We prefer to be called upstanding sorts—but only by comparison. We were hired to look out for you.”''
**''“Damn. Pardon my language, Miss Solstice. Won’t happen again.”''
*([https://wanderinginn.com/2020/11/08/7-56/ To] [[Erin Solstice|Erin]]) ''“Miss Solstice. May I just say you’re the most interesting [Innkeeper] I’ve ever met?”''
*([https://wanderinginn.com/2021/02/14/8-07-l/ To] [[Lyonette du Marquin|Lyonette]]) ''“It seldom is, Miss. Begging your pardon, but all levels play with daggers under the table. The daggers just look different.”''
*([https://wanderinginn.com/2021/02/14/8-07-l/ To] [[Wilovan]]) ''“I think a man’s fortune is his word, which is his bond, Wilovan.”''
*([https://wanderinginn.com/2021/09/26/8-44-o/ To] [[Wilovan]]) ''“It’s one of those things where a fellow never has to think ‘well, the grass is greener over there’. He’s always a bit out of place wherever he goes.”''
*([https://wanderinginn.com/2021/12/05/8-55-l/ To] Furfangs) ''“Keep up, then. Listen and don’t move until we say so. And—find yourselves some damn'' hats''.”''
*([https://wanderinginn.com/2022/12/14/9-28/ To] [[Rickel]]) ''“A fellow never argues with help, Rickel. Or doubts it might come at times when it’s greatly appreciated. Especially not from a [[Erin Solstice|lady]] who’s flouted death.”''
