Personality

None

Abilities

Keeps an eye on Kennet’s perimeter and alters them of danger by burning a hole in a map, ouija board or list of names.

Is unable to speak, but can communicate though weji boards and maps.

Relationships

Due to his nature and loneliness he was attracted to Edith.<ref>“In a way, it was like coming home, she was warm, she had this natural way of drawing you in, at least for me.”

“You’ll make me jealous,” her partner said.

“It wasn’t like that. It wasn’t love. I went along with what she wanted because nothing and no one was telling me not to.”- Excerpt from False Moves 12.4</ref>

Chronology

It has a non-violent and passive nature, preferring to listen than to act.

Gravitates towards interesting people such as, addicts, criminals and world weary travellers. It enjoys listening to stories.

It has had two prior owners, a witch hunt that used him as an endless cigarette and an alchemist who’s workshop exploded. Cig received some minor abrasions as a result of the blast.

Became a citizen of Kennet after the perimeter fell.

He was bound by Verona when she tricked him into jumping to smoke she had released from a jar and then dissipated by opening another jar of clean air.<ref>Verona undid the cap. Alchemy-created smoke billowed out of the container, and she held it high overhead.

“Come on, come on, come on. Jump to the nice big obvious point of smoke…” Verona said, grabbing the other bottle. She threw the first across the roof, then began unscrewing, watching Lucy.

Lucy, down by the shore, jerked her arm, giving it a sudden shake.

Burned down enough she had to drop him…

The cigarette appeared on the corner of the roof closest to Lucy and Lis.

Verona finished unscrewing the other cap. The air was cleared. All smoke in a wide radius was pushed away, including Cig’s. He rolled a bit, then stopped.

She strode over, then drew a circle in the scant rooftop gravel and grit with her finger. He rolled slightly away from her finger as she drew, but didn’t disappear. She filled in the trench with poured chalk.- Excerpt from Dash to Pieces 11.13</ref>

Lucy, Verona and Avery interview him in a dream with help from Alpeana, they agree to let Cig go free in exchange for information about the conspiracy. Cig explains that they'll "paint the town red"<ref>“We’ll paint the town red,”- Excerpt from False Moves 12.4</ref> and "turn things around on them", that “If they want to turn those poor saps out onto the streets, that’s fine, but they should also sort out the mess.”<ref>“Turn things around on them,” the businessman from the near-beginning of this ‘conversation’ murmured, as he walked by, pausing near the stools the three of them sat on as people were gathering for drinks. The barkeep looked like he wanted to go serve, but the old man that told the joke had a grip on his arm. The businessman’s tone took on an intensity, his volume dropping as he continued to whisper, “If they want to turn those poor saps out onto the streets, that’s fine, but they should also sort out the mess.”- Excerpt from False Moves 12.4</ref>. He also says that they'll “They’ll change the policies and regulations,”.<ref>“They’ll change the policies and regulations,”- Excerpt from False Moves 12.4</ref>

Cig goes on to say that he only joined the conspiracy because he was lonely and because of Edith.<ref>“We’re all making concessions,” the man replied to the woman. “We get lonely, and loneliness leads us to cling to even those people we don’t fit in with. We compromise on our ideals, and a person we wouldn’t give the time of day to in another circumstance starts to feel like a kindred spirit.”

“Spirit?” Verona asked. “Edith?”
- Excerpt from False Moves 12.4</ref> He also informs them that the goblins are involved<ref>“Little bastards!” the angry businessman hissed.

“Goblins,” Lucy whispered.
- Excerpt from False Moves 12.4</ref> and that Guilherme hired Raphael Tindall.<ref>“Guilherme?” Lucy asked, twisting around. “He’s not-”

“He was the one who made the call, you know.”
