Maurice

Description
Maurice resembles a much older, dirtier version of Lupin, though his hair is lighter and his drinking and gambling habits have caught up with him a bit, resulting in a semi-permanent scowl and drunken stagger.

Personality
In the past, Maurice was rather smooth-talking, using this personality to his advantage. However, he was still extremely selfish and a user, a trait that did not fade with age. Upon meeting his son after selling him as a slave over a decade ago, he asked him for money, and seemed completely unrepentant after being challenged on his transgressions. Despite his selfish behavior, he did still seem to harbor romantic feelings for Thelma Cogulson, and resented Cogul for "stealing" her away.

Biography
During his later years, Maurice sold his 12-year old son, Lupin, to a slaver named Gerard Godfrey to pay off his debts.

Over a decade later, Lupin returned to Stilben with the Saints to seek closure with his father, who was in the process of fleeing Stilben due to assorted debts once again. Lupin, in a rage, physically assaulted his father and told him to head to the slums outside of Emon to lay low. Afterwards, Lupin burned his childhood home down with the help of Tannin and Frovroth.

Later, it was revealed that Maurice would eventually wander to Riverrun to find his old flame, a woman named Thelma Cogulson. Berating her husband for "allowing" her to go missing, he was accosted by Lupin for his rude behavior, and revealed that she was, in fact, his mother, and that he had lured her away to him during a dark point in her life, fathering a child with her and becoming very bitter after she fled to her old family. As a result, he resented his own son for his resemblance to Thelma. After a physical altercation, he promised Lupin would never see him again, and wandered off, presumably forever.
