Full picture here!

Henri Vulcane exists because I watched the Menagerie one-shot sequel the day it came out, and I heard Matt Mercer say the words "gorilla simiah" and then move on like that isn't the coolest thing we've ever heard. Henri was brought into the world not unlike Athena hatching from Zeus's skull, to alleviate the nagging creative pressure in my brain.

He's a loreborne simiah knowledge wizard. School of Knowledge because, that way, he gets two grimoires (Tyfar and Illiat, obviously), and Mending Touch. The extra Hit Point that comes with the School of War will never be as enticing to me as that.

Because I knew I was making a simiah, my primary character influence for this guy was, believe it or not, the X-Men's own Dr. Henry "Beast" McCoy. The Saint Germain aesthetic and hideous mustache came much, much later.

Narratively, this guy is a master wizard, who's been locked out of most of his power by a vindictive rival, and has to slowly pry off the armbands he's been shackled with to regain it. Coincidentally, he pries off a little more every time he levels up...
