"It drips eagerly. Perhaps if it comes to your cabin you should put down some sort of matting."
The Nacreous Outcast is a Rubbery Man with a strange scar on its face. Exceptionally for its kind, it can speak English,[1] cook,[2] and perform religious rituals.[3]
The Outcast was exiled by its people for multiple crimes. It won't speak of most of the list, but among them was love, which is forbidden within the species; the recipient of its affection might have been a Fluke.[4][5] As further punishment, it was abandoned in Port Cecil, where it became a servant to the Principles of Coral.[2] The phosphorescent scar on its forehead might have been caused by scintillack produced by the Principles.[6]
The Outcast has been forced to gather materials to prepare for a chess match against a lucky opponent; since the Principles is not exactly able to play chess, the Outcast is to serve as a surrogate for its master. If the Principles loses the match, it will die or descend the Great Chain of Being, an outcome it desires[7] - but the Outcast will share its fate.[6] However, if the Principles loses, the Outcast will be freed.[8]
