The Marquis of Puerile Pleasures

The Marquis of Puerile Pleasures was a ghost resident of Carcosa. Originally a French nobleman of the 18th Century with a strong interest in the occult, the marquis dabbled in the necromantic arts and debauchery, even striking up a friendship with the infamous Marquis de Sade. However, his actions eventually resulted in a scandal that cost him most of his fortune, and the marquis ended up contacting the King in Gold in an effort to recoup his lost wealth. After years of serving the malevolent Underworld ruler's whims and perverting his family estates to a ruined and foreboding place, the marquis' soul was finally claimed by the King in Gold.

Nevertheless, the marquis found himself a good niche in Carcosa. A witty socialite, he became a high-ranked courtier in the spires of the alien city, known for his parties. In 1874, he briefly encountered the Krewe who barged into one of his fetes. However, this meeting would be cut short when the Krewe broke the Old Laws, causing the locals to flee.
