Gregori Boq

Gregori Boq is the proprietor of The Harlequin

Appearance
Boq is obese, with a wig covering his head and heavy makeup. He wears bright, relaxed clothes and gaudy jewellery. Luca likens his eyes to those of a pig. They are often red and swollen due to the effects of laudanum. His cheeks also flush red when he has been drinking. He suffers from gout and tendonitis.

Personality
Boq is motivated by money. He is manipulative, fabricating a bidding war between Robert and Councillor Bors for the ownership of Luca. Reputation matters greatly to him, and he goes to great efforts to secure prestigious clients. He is also vengeful, devising severe punishments for slaves who do something that could negatively impact the brothel’s repute. While he is keen to display his power over those below him, he is eager to impress those above him in the hope of improving his own status.

History
Boq is from Baktria. It is implied that since arriving in Solas, he has not been dutiful about paying taxes.

He passes on information and gossip he receives about his clients to Kemp, believing him to be a merchant consortium in Oued.
