I'm creating a Companion character, and I'm thinking of making him a faerie, with the form of a strange and somewhat sinister harlequin. I know it's a bit anachronistic (but hey,it's a faerie). But do anyone know anything about medieval entertainment and when the harlequin appeared, and about other myths I can use?
My inspirations are mainly from Warhammer 40k and V for Vendetta, actually. A masked, sinister (but colorful) faerie character. He is a swordsman and a storyteller, and appears when you least expects him to push the other characters in the right (or wrong) direction, and to make mayhem. He gains vitality from inspiring mortals to do things they wouldn't otherwise do.
So, any thoughts? I was considering playing a priest, but suddently this idea ambushed me.
