[[folder:The Bloody Girl]]
-->"The Nightmare Guide"
The Bloody Girl is the manifest memory of Lucas's wife, Eleanor. His wife brought purest joy to Lucas - but knowing that he caused her death is white-hot, impossible grief and agony.
The Bloody Girl has been trapped in the mansion all the years that Lucas has tormented himself. To look upon her is torture, with every detail of her suffering impossible to forget, etched over every part of her face and body.
But within her memory is the seed of forgiveness. Lucas knows deep down she would still want him - one day - to be able to move on and live a life, so not everything of worth was lost on that one terrible night.

Her usual accompanist is pianist Redd Rockridge, but she and the Marquis would also practice together - sometimes long into the night. Although there was never any outward impropriety, these sessions were eventually called to a halt by the Marquis shortly after he met his wife.

One of the true voodoo demons of the deep, Grinmaw resembles a gigantic anglerfish with the tiny, colourful guppy as the lure on the end of his tether.
Only those with the second sight can see Grinmaw's true form - but he delights in whispering madness into any who will listen.

*
to:
* AlluringAnglerfish: Only his lure, which appears to be a smaller fish, is visible to those without the second sight.
* Brainwashed: He mind-controls Willow into hanging herself in despair.
* NotSoDifferent: He asks Boone to tell their mutual friend (presumably the Marquis) they're alike.
* [[Spoiler: RealityEnsues: Turns out in reality, he was an unusually colourful but otherwise normal fish. The Marquis only acquired him because of the stories surrounding him, not because the tales of voodoo were true.]]
* [[Spoiler: Red Herring: He looks like he's going to set up some supernatural power behind the mansion and be significant to events later. Turns out Gold Skull created him just to throw you off. [[JustForPun: Also, he's a fish]].]]

[[folder:The Gold Skull]]
-->"Deutoronomy Bounde"
A man in a golden skull mask, seemingly opposed to The Bloody Girl and responsible for the stable-time loop and perpetual murders.
In truth he's a representation of Marquis Lucas Bondes's self-loathing and inability to forgive himself for causing the deaths of his friends, wife and unborn child.
----
* EvilIsCool: For all his cruelty, him and his subordinates are all snappy dressers.
* NarratorAllAlong: Turns out he's been the one writing all the room notes for you.
* RealityWarper: He's in control of everything that happens in the Sexy Brutale and is the engineer of the hotel and all the murders. Only Boone and the Bloody Girl are outside his influence, and even they can be halted with a snap of his fingers.
* TheRedBaron: The artbook calls him The Golden Enigma.

[[folder:The King In Red]]
-->"Nightmare Engine"
An ancient man, his body broken and ravaged by the atrocities he has endured, hangs suspended in a chamber that forces breath into and out of his lungs.
Surrounding him are seven mirrors, showing him the murders of the guests throughout the mansion. ith every death, the man weeps tears of blood. When the tank is full, a nightmare engine rains the blood down over the mansion, starting the same, hellish day all over again.
He is the near-mindless source of the power that fuels the endless days of The Sexy Brutale.
----
* AndIMustScream: As in the description above, he's forced to watch the suffering of his friends over and over, with no relief from his pain and guilt.
* SelfInflictedHell: As a representation of the Marquis he's essentially inflicting all this agony on himself in an attempt to ensure his friends are not forgotten.

In the Room of Old Habits lurks a demon in chains who offers escape, relief and joy to those who will just give in to old vices. Why not just walk away from it all? The two of you will have a whale of a time!
----
* EnemyWithin: The creature is a representation of the protagonist's gambling addiction, locked away in a dark corner of their mind.
* ImmediateSelfContradiction: His every friendly offers is accompanied with another statement in brackets demonstrating rage at Boone for suppressing him and promises to never let him go when he gives in again.
* PoisonousFriend: He offers the chance to relive old adventures, but is constantly tempting Boone to resume his self-destructive gambling habits.

!!Lafcadio Boone
[[folder:Lafcadio Boone]]
-->"The Sinful Preacher"
Not much is known about the preacher Lafcadio Boone. He has awoken in the middle of a mansion he finds both nightmarish and alien… But at the same time, very familiar.
With the other guests at the masked ball being murdered in front of his very eyes, Lafcadio has been singled out as the one and only person who can save them and put an end to this nightmare.
It seems his mask alone has been “blessed” by the mysterious Bloody Girl – her power allowing him to avoid the fate of the other guests and to retain his memories even when the clock strikes midnight and the same day begins all over again.

!!The Guests
[[folder:Reginald Sixpence]]
-->"The Clockwork Baron"
Reginald Sixpence is a genius clockmaker and mechanic who was originally commissioned to create the extravagant timepieces featured throughout the mansion.
Reginald could be somewhat blind to the intentions and emotions of others, and he has become distraught that some of the Marquis’ projects may have had much darker and more dangerous aims than he could have imagined.

[[folder:Clay Rockridge]]
-->"The Brute In A Suit"
Clay Rockridge used to be head of security at The Sexy Brutale — but now he has joined the guest list, with all the delights and dangers that entails.
The Casino is Clay’s home, where he is passing time on the blackjack tables and trying his luck against one of the… grimmer card dealers that the mansion has to offer.
His fondness for drink means that he has been somewhat distracted while his wife has gone missing…

[[folder:Trinity Carrington]]
-->"The Moth by Moonlight"
The blind artist Trinity Carrington is one of the most gifted sculptors in the world — although the elegance of her work is quite at odds with her wicked sense of humour… and complete disregard for rules.
Trinity was once caught cheating at cards using her extraordinary sense of touch and hearing, but this delicate situation introduced her to her future husband — head of security Clay Rockridge — so she considered herself a winner regardless.
Trinity also has a somewhat famous half-sister who was close to the Marquis in the days before The Sexy Brutale.

[[folder:Willow Blue]]

Hailing from the swamps of the South, Willow Blue is a dealer in rare and unusual antiques… with drop of ancient magic in her veins, giving her strange and dark gifts.
Something has been troubling Willow this year at the masked ball, but while she has been doing her best to understand and defend against the dangers that she senses, it may well be that whatever secrets are lurking in the mansion are beyond even her formidable powers.

[[folder:Greyson Grayson]]
-->"The Lightfingered Locksmith"
Greyson Grayson was, bluntly, an uncommonly-good common thief in his youth, who was later invited to provide iron-clad security throughout The Sexy Brutale.
The Marquis liked to tease Grayson about his past, and would purchase items of great value and rarity to hide in the mansion — much to Grayson’s outward irritation… though on the inside he was obsessed with these treasure hunts the Marquis arranged.

[[folder:Redd Rockridge]]
-->"The Gentle Goliath"
Though his brother, Clay, was the prizefighter in the family, it was never in dispute that Redd Rockridge was simply in a different league when it came to sheer physical power.
Previously Redd was the head croupier at The Sexy Brutale, but since then has become a valued friend and guest of the Marquis’. Redd is a talented musician, and also very close to Greyson, with whom he is exploring the mansion this year at the ball, unaware of the dangers at hand…

[[folder:Aurum Runes]]
-->"The Midas Giant"
Descended from a family of master goldsmiths, Aurum Runes is responsible for many of the most exquisite pieces of art and engineering throughout the mansion.
As a younger man he worked tirelessly in the forges, smelting with methods of his own devising until fumes from a particularly demanding project almost destroyed his health and forced him to create a specialised welding mask to monitor his heart rate.
Aurum has been given a seemingly simple task to complete during the ball — but even if he succeeds, can he be sure he will be richer for it?

Master architect Thanos Gorecki is one of the great minds behind some of the most ingenious features of The Sexy Brutale.

The impeccably attired and immaculately mannered staff at The Sexy Brutale are renowned for their dedication to their tasks and attention to detail. This year however, their full effort and focus appears to be reserved for planning and… executing the systematic murders of the guests.
No-one appears to be safe from their peculiar brand of personalised service. But are they acting on their own now that the master of the house is away… Or is it his murderous will that they continue to follow, day in and day out?
