Bourgeois Family cause of death:

Audrey Bourgeois: Liver failure from chronic alcoholism.

André Bourgeois: Natural causes- His vital organs got sick of supporting his sad sack existence so his small intestine strangled his brain in a heroic act of self sacrifice.

Noé Luxus: So much cocaine, like, so much. He and some finance bros tried skiing a mountain of it in their underwear.

Zoé Lee: Wrecked standing up on a motorcycle going 130kph, showing off for a cute girl.

Chloé Bourgeois: Ha! You should be so lucky. Too stubborn to die; doesn't mean she hasn't tried.

halsan is a disgusting zoophile and pedo! lae'zel clocked him with chimera and if you romance him youare into that shit!

Thank goodness you said Halsan and not Halsin. That description sounds like a discount knockoff from AliExpress, and I don't think you'll get a refund.

And allow me to quote a friend (and I say this with undying love for Lae’zel) 'she’s a space frog who pegs people, so…'

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Let’s take a look at the chimera’s multiple heads here, shall we?

Lae'zel: "You've quite the appetite, Halsin. I'd wager you've bedded more of your foes than you've felled." Halsin: "Hmm. A challenging sum. The chimera has three heads... but does it still count as one?" Lae'zel: "Must have been a challenging kill." Halsin: "Kill... yes." 

All we have to go on is audio; a cinematic close-up would've helped, and that’s me being generous, because Halsin’s delivery is subtle: he does not overplay it, and he rarely telegraphs when he is joking. He also tends to correct people with unusual gentleness.

That exchange with Lae’zel is a perfect example. She asks an invasive, dominance-coded question. Halsin, with the patience of a man carrying well over three centuries of perspective, refuses her framing and answers with dry absurdity instead.

That is the joke.

And the majority reading.

The voices that keep trying to turn that line into “evidence” are not engaging in genuine character analysis by any stretch of the imagination. Outrage generates extreme accusations, even as the textual support gets thinner. An illusion that has very little to do with Halsin and a great deal to do with controlling the narrative online.

It also says a great deal that companions who are overtly flirtatious, aggressive, or canonically involved in darker material are often granted irony, nuance, and humor - while Halsin makes one quip - and suddenly some people decide it must be read as literal evidence against his entire character.

That double standard is not subtle.

John Corcoran did not write Halsin as a covert sexual predator.

He wrote a man marked by loss, coercion, and responsibility - and still managed to make him open-hearted, playful, and the embodiment of a deeply consent-centered ethos.

Only an intentionally inflammatory read can get you elsewhere.

And that is partly where the frustration stems, for my corner of the fandom: characters defined by selflessness, empathy, and kindness tend to expose just how addicted the internet is to reading ugliness into everything. Unable to appreciate a bouquet because they’re always expecting a knife.

And that is the real pattern here: selectively ignoring actual canon horrors (Sarevok’s incest and the Dark Urge's necrophilic implications), while inventing fake ones about Halsin through guilt-by-association and bad-faith leaps. Tone stripped, context swept neatly under the rug.

Because characters who dare to challenge expectations: who prefer multiple emotional relationships, are openly affectionate, and self-possessed, often become lightning rods for projection in fandom, especially when players have already decided they dislike what such characters might represent.

What this kind of “ask” really reveals is not something sinister about Halsin, but something deeply telling about the habits of the person making the finger-pointing.

The same goes for the truly bizarre child-related accusations (??) There is nothing in canon that supports them. Nothing in Halsin’s relationship with Thaniel is indicative of abuse.
