Mr. Fancyhat – The Unhinged Haberdasher

Mr. Fancyhat – The Unhinged Haberdasher

Fey, Goblinoid (Rogue, Warlock)

Striding forward across shattered china with a wicked grin stretched beneath an elaborate top hat, Mr. Fancyhat tips his brim in mock gentility while dragging a heart-shaped war mallet behind him. Dressed in patched tailoring with a stuffed hare draped over his shoulder, he embodies chaotic planar refinement turned violent. Keepers building surreal court encounters, labyrinth ambushes, or whimsical social trials will find this Artifact delivers instant theatrical malice to the grid.

Tabletop Lore

Within the tangled hedge corridors of shifting border realms, high society devolves into frantic ceremony and unhinged etiquette. Mr. Fancyhat presides over unending afternoon repasts where the tea is cold, the riddles are lethal, and the rules change with every chime of the clock. Feigning the manners of an eccentric aristocrat, he invites travelers to sit and barter for directions, only to fly into a murderous frenzy the moment an uninvited guest violates his nonsensical dining decorum.

Highlight

An expressive madcap character featuring an oversized top hat laden with tea accessories, an ornate heart-shaped bludgeon, a draped rabbit pelt, and a base littered with broken crockery.

Encounter Insight

Deploy Mr. Fancyhat as an eccentric quest giver, unpredictable planar merchant, or erratic boss minion during a tea party incursion. In combat, Keepers can run him as an elusive skirmisher who weaves between cover, using social taunts and bewildering planar hexes to disorient martial fighters before delivering a concussive strike with his iron mallet.
