Calico lore and story
An editorial guide to Calico's background, motive for entering the Ritual, and possible wish from a Patron.
Who is Calico?
Once a decorated member of The Baxter Society, Calico left the august order once she realized that killing monsters for free was less profitable than killing people for money. Now an in demand contract killer, Calico is living her best life ending someone else's.
Calico enters a Ritual in which six heroes aid a Patron against its rival. Victory matters beyond the match: the successful Patron can offer each ally a wish, turning every combatant's private motive into part of the city's larger occult crisis.
