Loquatius Seelie

 is a changeling bard/warlock and is a news media personality for the Herald's Tome. He is played by Sam Riegel.

Appearance
As a changeling, Loquatius can alter his appearance at will, but his "default" form has dark-rimmed white eyes, and a shock of white hair that stands up. His skin is pale, and dark veins are visible through it, giving it an appearance almost like marble. The veins beneath the skin constantly move. In his broadcasts, as himself, he wears a purple-lined gold jacket, and appears with a golden face and purple hair. He also shifts his appearance during his ad reads.

Personality
Loquatius appears confident and self-important, and enjoys being a celebrity.

Background
Loquatius is originally from the Feywild prior to living in Avalir. He married Laerryn Coramar-Seelie seven years before to the events of Exandria Unlimited: Calamity, at the last Replenishment. The two have since divorced.

Loquatius gave his morning broadcast at the Herald's Tome. He expressed concern to his assistant, Aria, about some broken crystal columns in Evenloft, which were preventing his broadcasts from going out to some, and went to see his ex-wife Laerryn to get them fixed. He and Laerryn had a somewhat argumentative conversation in her quarters, but both of them expressed some wistfulness about their upcoming anniversary.

Later that evening, Loquatius arrived at the party at the Palazzo Por'co with a date, Bolo. He spoke briefly to Purvan Suul.

Loquatius realized, while looking at the body of the unidentified cleric of a Betrayer God, that the person had intended to complete a task at the party but had been killed by Cerrit before they finished.

Afterwards, he and Cerrit went to the Herald's Tome to look for more information on Vespin Chloras. Cerrit found crucial information on the Tree of Names, and that the files on Evandrin were missing. He asked Loquatius about the reporter, Elena Tuvaris, and Loquatius told him that she'd been let go, but did not reveal more.

Relationships
Loquatius was formerly married to Laerryn. The two have since divorced, and are on speaking terms but still have some unresolved feelings and resentment.
