This portrayal is in no way connected to or written in conjunction with the Grishaverse, including both the Six of Crows duology or Netflix's Shadow and Bone show. Kaz has been removed from the world entirely and rewritten with original lore based on various pieces of media and folklore. There is also some inspiration taken from Erin Morgenstern's The Night Circus. Much of the writing done on this blog will be based in realms of fantasy and will include aspects of the supernatural. Much of this story is intentionally misleading and runs in circles. Kaz Brekker and Dirtyhands are the same creature. Your muse is welcome to question this, to believe them as separate entities, or to dismiss any of the legends entirely. I welcome any and all of it, and in fact encourage questions both IC and OOC. His main arc will always default in the real world, but as imagined with fantasy elements. In this world, much of the stories that involve Dirtyhands are regarded as urban legend. Kaz, when presented as Brekker, appears as simply a man and travels very often for business. Much of my inspiration for this interpretation comes from various folklore such as stories from the Netherlands and different aspects of corvid legends. IMPORTANT TO NOTE: Kaz is DISABLED. As a result, he walks with a limp and a cane. He is often in a great amount of pain, dependent on multiple factors. Kaz is used to ableist language directed at him and doesn't care (in fact, he thrives on people underestimating him for it), but I will not tolerate it. You'll be hardblocked. He also has an extreme case of haphephobia, in which he cannot tolerate touch. It is extremely difficult to get close to him without his permission, but should your muse think to try it, there will likely be consequences. Please keep this in mind. Kaz is a very violent character. I will not water him down for the sake of a better dynamic or to satisfy egos. I will not woobify him. He can and will lash out. If your muse is mouthing off and being smart, he's bound to cause injury. On the flip side, he's smart. Very much so. And he knows better than to strike someone who is very obviously more powerful than he is. Plotting is great for discussing these kinds of interactions! But if you don't think you (or your muse) can handle his aggression and violence, please refrain from interacting.

CURRENTLY.

the king of the barrel. PRESENT DAY. Generally, Kaz is perceived most often as Brekker. He is a businessman with various dealings both attached to him and linked to a pseudonym. It’s most likely that your muse will encounter them as Brekker. It’s less likely that your muse would come across Dirtyhands, though not entirely improbable especially if your muse is non-human. Meeting him as Dirtyhands is rarely a good thing. Kaz’s primary interest and goal is collecting information relevant to their partner’s work. Inej is a deified saint and goddess for stolen women and children, and hunts down those who would harm these marginalized groups. Kaz finds, swindles, and drops these abusers off for her to do with as she pleases. He also on occasion has assisted her in relocating those who have been misplaced. Kaz, as the businessman, is a known thief and conman, an accomplished one at that. He has been hired for work related to these skills many times. This is a great plot idea to build on. TO NOTE: He is often accompanied by crows. These are transfigured members of his gang, the Dregs. As Kaz, they may present as their human forms; otherwise, there is probably a corvid in the background wherever Brekker is.

Have you heard the tale of the Crow King? The story of the monster who wears many faces and bears many names? Some say he is a demon with claws or talons. Others think him merely legend. A cautionary tale for naughty children who would do well to fear a ghost.

There are many different versions of this story. I could tell you the one where the boy killed his whole family in exchange for riches beyond measure, but in the wake of such tragedy, he was instead cursed to a half-life as a carrion scavenger who would never be satisfied in this mortal realm. Or perhaps you would enjoy the story of the boy who loved magic and mischief and traded his heart for a chance to wield both freely. Of course, nothing comes without a cost and the boy would indeed be full of magic as much as he would be full of hunger.

It would not matter which way we started. All that really matters is that you know this: whatever you hear, it could very well be the truth. But it may sooner be a lie.

Take care what you believe...

ASSOCIATED SUPERSTITIONS.

› Hearing six consecutive crow calls is a bad omen.

› If you find a crow nest tipped upside down, it's been abandoned and death is imminent on the grounds upon which it was made. Crow nests are particular from other bird nests as they often contain various trinkets stolen from humans such as spoons, coins, and other objects made of metal or other such shiny materials.

› Crows in groups of six or more roosting in town or on personal property are a bad omen.

› If you have noticed the lingering company of a crow, you may respectfully determine the cause for their interest. Leave a sentimental item made of metal, or any item of value to you, at the edge of your property. If it's been left alone by the following morning, you needn't be concerned. However, if you find that your offering has been pilfered, it's too late. You'll be remembered. You won't be forgiven.
