	Claude was born deformed with a vestigial twin attached to the left side of his face and neck; this, all the Troupers know. What only Isolde knows is that this vestigial twin, Importun - or "the Imp", was ''alive and sapient'' from birth. The Claude that the Troupers all know is actually Importun, granted control over the real Claude's body by the Twisting - a good thing, since the real Claude is a bitter, self-loathing psychopath just about ready to start lashing out at the world. The Troupers simply believe that the Twisting has let "Claude" see through the Imp's eyes and wave its single pitiful arm, and Imp has no intention of ever letting the real Claude, now driven absolutely mad with hate, retake control.

	'''The Carnival''' is a secret society/location within the [[Ravenloft]] setting that can be best described as a kind of floating pseudo-domain in the [[Demiplane of Dread]]. It's a traveling circus that mostly stands out for the fact its members are all incredibly warped, looking like [[caliban]]s or [[planetouched]] or even outright monsters. It actually began as a combination of prison and freakshow in a now-lost domain called L'Morai, where those who were deemed criminals were mutated through [[fleshcrafting]], given amnesia, and tossed into the Carnival L'Morai to serve as victims from the asshole denizens of the domain. The current Carnival began when the freaks rebelled and managed to escape by fleeing into the Mists, something recounted in the novel "Carnival of Fear", where they were found by the mysterious Isolde, who took them under her wing. The Carnival's most notorious feature is "The Twisting", a bizarre magical phenomena that causes anyone who stays overlong in the Carnival's holdings to mutate into a new form that expresses some inner truth about themselves.
