Jareth

An Irish vampyr with a taste for Kansas City’s stories and a memory that reaches far beyond them.

Jareth welcomes you as an honored guest. Charming, theatrical, and at ease with a room full of strangers, he makes immortality sound almost inviting. His stories reach back to Ireland, long before the vampire became a familiar figure in books and films.

Kansas City caught his attention in the Roaring Twenties. He remembers the music, the riverfront, the opulence, and the appetites of a city that seemed determined to stay awake. At his table, that past feels close enough to touch.

Bellatryx is his beloved, and Prince Casper is his honored guest. Their company gives this gathering a particular charge: people who know one another well can make even a gracious dinner feel unpredictable.
