NPC Focus - Jérémie Rey

Jérémie Rey is the only son of the houngan Pépin Rey, and the owner and proprietor of Magie des Marais - a vaudou shop known for its ever-shifting atmosphere. The store offers a wide array of goods, from powders and herbs to enchanted trinkets and carefully brewed potions. Though still early in his journey, Jérémie is training to follow in his father’s footsteps as a houngan. He takes particular joy in potion-making, and the scents, colors, and energies of his craft give the shop a constantly evolving character.

Despite his inexperience, Jérémie is earnest and deeply committed to learning. He listens closely to his father’s teachings, absorbing not just technique, but the weight of tradition and the unpredictable nature of the loa. His work is careful and deliberate, driven more by curiosity and respect than ambition alone.

Jérémie believes his father’s claims that Baron Glegali haunts him, but doubt has begun to creep in. Having never seen the loa himself, he quietly wonders if Pépin’s mind may be slipping with age. Still, Jérémie understands how turbulent and elusive such spirits can be, and he chooses to trust rather than dismiss. To settle the matter, he has begun crafting a talisman meant to reveal the Baron’s presence - and, if it works, he intends to confront the loa directly.

In his dealings with others, Jérémie is warm, approachable, and fair-minded. He enjoys bargaining and is always open to working out an arrangement, especially with adventurers or those in need. As long as a deal feels balanced, he is happy to make it worthwhile for everyone involved. A fondness for rum sweetens his disposition further - a bottle or two added to a negotiation rarely goes unappreciated.

That said, Jérémie is no fool. He keeps a clear head in business and stands by every transaction he makes. Only during La Fête Humide does he allow himself to loosen his guard, if only a little. He frequently sources rare herbs and plants from Gigi Dubois, and over time, admiration has quietly grown into something deeper - though whether he acts on it is another matter entirely.
