Description of Meister Schoeffen:

A lord in the town, who often needs Marcus to extract confessions or torture individuals, but looks down on him as a shameful and repulsive (but necessary) member of their society. He is exposed to the disease by The Mad Brother. He later shows up feverish at Marcus’ doorstep begging for an herbal cure for his dying infant daughter. Marcus admits cannot help him and doesn’t know of any cures, so he curses him and carries his (unbeknownst to him) already-dead baby back home. He and the rest of his family die of the plague shortly after this. Aged 45-60
