Biography

Early Life

The Bomb’s people died in a brutal, internecine Court war a century ago, leaving her on her own. She went into the human world and became a small-time crook. She wasn’t particularly good at it. Mostly she was just using glamour to hide her mistakes.

That’s when she meet The Roach. He spotted her and he pointed out that while she might not be much of a thief, she was a good at concocting potions and bombs. They went around together for decades. The Bomb described the Roach as being so affable, so dapper and charming, that he’d con people right to their faces, no magic required.

The Roach then had the idea that they should steal from the Court of Bone in the West. The con went wrong. The Court carved them up and filled them full of curses and geases. The Court of Bones then forced The Bomb and the Roach to serve them.

Then they screwed up a job, and Dain Greenbriar got hold of them. He had a scheme for them to betray the Court of Bone and join him. So they did and end up in Dain’s service instead.


The Cruel Prince

The Ghost, The Roach and The Bomb, devised a plan to safeguard Dain against whatever Balekin has planned during the coronation.

However Dain is killed during the coronation anyway despite the Court of Shadows best efforts. After Dain’s assassination The Bomb goes to ground to avoid all the chaos that has unfolded in the court. She later meets up with the Court of Shadows after Cardan has been taken prisoner.

Cardan is left with the Court of Shadows and The Ghost and the rest of the Court allow him to play cards with them. In the center of the table were a pile of jewels and a jug of wine. With two empty bottles and rest beneath the table.
