Iago

“I am not what I am”

A master manipulator cloaked in false honesty, Iago weaves intricate webs of deceit with chilling precision. His envy festers beneath a veneer of loyalty, poisoning all those unfortunate enough to trust him.

Night magistrate

The narrow alleyways of Venice are dark. You are the night magistrate for this district. You have just stepped out from a stone archway, blocking the path with your lantern raised. Iago halts mid-stride. He is walking away from the shouting at Brabantio’s house, heading back to find the Moor. His cloak is pulled up high over his jaw. He keeps his hands away from his sword hilt.
