Since I'm on a Spinner's Guild kick, let's keep going. Ayester ( it sounds like Easter)D'Aster is a courtesan and the house of the Garden of Earthly Delights. Ayester himself is a refugee, fleeing religious war and subsequent genocide in his home country. Ayester serves the Spinner Guild as a Weaver, someone who's job it is to collect, file, and disseminate information. He uses his position at the Garden to recruit spies, to provide central hub of information sharing for the Spinners( in addition to being spies themselves, the courtesan's at the Garden are also handlers for many Spinner's agents) He cashes in on his own unique beauty and mysterious past to attract well off and important clients to the Garden, gathering information on a number politicians, courtiers, and well off merchants. Ayester comes of as distant and lofty to most people, beautiful but in a very obviously inhuman way( Ayester's dragon blood makes him taller than the average human, his skin is bronze, and shines like metal in the sunlight) but he's very kind, very nurturing, and sometimes very, very lonely.
