Potential Assassin Thwarted
In the wake of Charles Dauphin's failed coup, a ceremony was held on the 21st of may to honor Solange du Sauvre for he part in thwarting the treasonous plot. The controversial female Gendarme, was elevated in both professionally and social, being promoted to the rank of inspector, and Esquire at once. However before the executions of Dauphin's co conspirators could commence a scene broke out when Gendarme Dimitri Vonquette spotted a woman who had slipped past the barricades and was lingering behind the Lord Governor with drawn weapon. Vonquette ordered the woman to halt, but instead she attempted to flee, and as several spectators confirm - discharged some device to attempt to obfuscate herself from sight. However the woman was caught by the persistent Vonquette and promptly hauled off to jail. The woman who's name we have been asked not to release as of yet, has been confirmed by severel witnesses as a known associate of Vlad, a Caliban wanted for several counts of murder.
WANTED!
"VLAD"
A caliban, large and broad-shouldered, with a tail, known to wear the heavy armor associated with societies of antiquity. Wanted for the deaths of several Hotel staffers and gentryfolk.
To the person who slays this vile criminal, a reward of no less than 50,000 solars shall be bestowed, along with high honors coming from the Council of Brilliance itself!
Merci beaucoup,
~ The Gendarmerie
Durring the investigation, several sources have confirmed seeing the woman in the company of Vlad, on multiple occasions. While looking into the guest list of the Governor's hotel on the day of the vicious attack by Vlad, we have confirmed that a member of the Councile of Brilliance was within the hotel at the time of his attack. Leading the Gendarme to believe both incidents may be part of a larger assassination plot.
More on this story as it unfolds.
