Rouen

Rouen is a character in Origin Stories first introduced in Killerjoy. He is a mysterious man who was summoned through the Whirle after Illum Nairo's gambit with Vermon fails.

Appearance
Rouen is described as a large man with a dark, almost reddish beard too large for his own face. He has two large wings similar to a gargoyle's protruding from his back.

Early Life
Rouen lived 1,000 years before the start of Killerjoy. He claims that he used to have gargoyles, much like Vermon. But whether Vermon was one such gargoyle or not is never explained.

Killerjoy
Rouen is mentioned a few times throughout the text, but only in reference as most people think him a mere myth or legend.

At the end of Killerjoy after Nairo access the Whirle using Vermon, Rouen is brought to the current timeline. He is met by Baneman and Shining in the former masque hideout. After figuring out that he was brought there by the Whirle, and establishing Vermon was still only a child of a gargoyle, he leaves. Before doing so, Shining attacked him. His mettle-repelling wings deflected the attack shooting it back at her killing her instantly. But he had no intent to harm either of them, clearly, since he leaves Baneman alive and well.
