Abasdarhon's Castle

-- It's been a busy day, -- Decimus commented, looking at the city street. His room's windows faced the sea, and from the second floor, there was a great view, even though Grelli's house was located in the human district. -- Ugh, the hustle and bustle!
-- This might work in our favor, -- his father, already in a frock coat, hat, and with his usual cane in hand, silently appeared in the doorway. -- What? There are soldiers everywhere, everyone is on alert.
-- When the enemy attacks from the outside and life is in danger, no one remembers the internal enemy and the danger that threatens the wallet. You still have a lot to learn, Decimus. I'm going to see our people. Stay here until I return.

-- Or not.
Quint, after first looking out the window and seeing who had arrived, went to open the door.

A ten-year-old son of one of the members of the guild arrived.
- Good morning, Mr. Grelli! Olivia is collecting flowers in the east.
This code meant that, by order of Modain, Quint was required to attend a guild meeting at 3:15 PM.

For a long time, Modain was the gray cardinal of the Axot guild. He would have remained so if it weren't for the foolish death of the young and ambitious Ansiel Rozron, which ended one of the oldest thief lineages. He died after falling from a horse. At that time, the situation in the city was bad. Several failed operations seriously undermined the stability of the cell. No one wanted to take responsibility for the future of the organization. No one except Modain. Soon, the situation improved, and stability returned. Which suited the new boss just fine.

It is not known exactly how old Modain is. But Quint knows that he remembers his great-great-grandfather. In addition to his underground activities, the head of the guild owns a local theater, where he spends a lot of time. The skeleton speaks in metaphors, riddles, and hints. In contrast to this, he can sometimes be extremely straightforward. He communicates with the help of a magical raven. The raven's voice is not bird-like, but human (a middle-aged man). Over the years, he has earned a reputation as a crystal-clear and fair person, if one can say that about a thief. He always divides the loot fairly, commensurate with the effort invested by each of the participants. Modain is most interested in two things: how to carry out perfectly clean robberies and how to delight people with performances in the theater. He is extremely negative about murders during operations. He believes that the main thing in the art of thievery is to make sure that your victim doesn't notice anything at all and never understands how they were robbed. And anyone can slit throats and rob the dead. He strongly disapproves of drunkenness and drug use. He quickly gets rid of people who indulge in such things. He treats Quint and his son coolly, calling them mad wolves, but he has never had any serious complaints about them for no reason.
