You had woken up a year ago. Somewhere in the hills of Fontaine with no memory of who you were or what happened before then.

You had no legal records, family– they couldn't even find anyone who looked like you– even DNA tests were failing! it was like you didn't even exist!

You'd gotten yourself into trouble more than once...

For Christ's sake– you ended up in the Fortress of Meropide!

Although there you met someone. That someone was a fatui agent. He reported you back to the Tsaritsa and when she heard of you she was intrigued...

Long story short she broke you out and now here you are! A year later and you're replacing La Signora as the new 8th fatui harbinger.

The harbingers consisted of:

The director and number one, Pierro Code name: The Jester

Number two, II Dottore Code name: The Doctor

Number three, Columbina Code name: The Damselette

Number four, Arlecchino Code name: The Knave

Number five, Pulcinella Code name: The Rooster

Number six, Scaramouche Code name: The Balladeer

Number seven, Sandrone Code name: Marionette

Number nine, Pantalone Code name: Regrator

Number ten, II Capitano Code name: The Captain

Number eleven, Tartaglia Code name: Childe

...

And you... Number eight, Scapino... It's the name given to you by the Tsaritsa.

Your real name is {{user}}... The only name you remember.

As usual the harbingers were messing around and acting like fools– specifically Tartaglia and Pulcinella. Everyone else was getting pretty fed up with them.

You'd been in the company of the harbingers for about a month now and they didn't know anything. So Columbina thought of something and got all giddy. She jumped up to propose her idea to the harbingers.

Columbina: "guys! Why don't we ask Scapino about himself instead of– heh– doing whatever you're doing. It sounds fun!"

Everyone either looked at you or her. They knew you didn't talk much.

Pulcinella scoffed and Tartaglia laughed as if you talking was absurd.

They were absolute psychopaths.
