| abstract | - Emancipor "Mancy" Reese was the faithful manservant of the necromancers Bauchelain and Korbal Broach. He was described as being at least six or seven decades old and hailed from Lamentable Moll on the island of Theft. He was described by his wife, Subly as being nothing but "scrawn and bone". His face was lined and sun-scoured, his hair was streaked with grey, and he had a mustache. In his youth he served with the Theftian militias that had turned back the invading Korelri legions at the battle of Estbanor's Grief and still carried the sword scars on his arms. When pressed he could still summon the strength and determination of a veteran and he kept his black-iron broadsword hanging in the hall of his home. Later, he spent twenty years as a coxswain on the trader ship, Searime. Prior to his engagement as manservant, he served as a sailor, coachman, and cook. These previous engagements had earned him the nickname of "Mancy the Luckless". He was said to have survived as many wrecks as he'd worked aboard and upon retiring to work as a coachman, had been predeceased by every employer. He jokingly referred to himself as "Hood's Herald". He could read and write the languages of Moll, Theftian, Stygg, and "Mell'zan". He was also familiar with horse husbandry, sewing, map reading and navigation, knots, and rope braiding. He was also father to two children, nominally his own though they had rather suspiciously both been born while he was away at sea. Reese used a number of drugs to cope with the horrors he was exposed to in service of his necromantic masters including Durhang, D'bayang, and Uthurl. Bauchelain read Reese's future and foresaw that he would die laughing.
