Appearance:
Bauchelain is a tall man, with sharply-defined facial features, a chalky complexion and a high brow. He has long, grey hair, which he usually treats with oil and keeps swept behind his head, either loosely or tied in a single tail. He also has a small grey beard in the shape of a triangle. His eyes are grey.
Bauchelain exclusively wears grey and black clothing. On average days he generally wears loose silk garments under a large cloak. When heading into battle, he wears a full coat of blackened chain armour. He may carry a long, narrow sword and he also has a large crossbow of formidable quality.
Bauchelain maintains a calm demeanor and almost always speaks politely. His demeanor is also very emotionless, rarely getting upset, but also never smiling.
Abilities:
Bauchelain is labeled as a necromancer, but his greatest talents and interests lie in demonic summoning. He has been observed to summon a Sirinth and a Kenyll'rah demon and bind them to his will. The demon Ineb Cough from the city of Quaint, upon feeling Bauchelain's power, expressed that the necromancer could bend the demon to its will with very little effort on Bauchelain's part, whereas previously the demon believed that it had become powerful enough to defy any summoner.
Biography:
Bauchelain travels all across the world with his companion, Korbal Broach, rarely staying in any place for long.
Lamentable Moll
Lamentable Moll is a town on the Theftian peninsula. Sometime after the Malazan invasion of Korel failed, Baucelain and Korbal Broach came to the town, taking up residence in an in called Sorrowman's. During their stay, Korbal Broach murdered many citizens, acquiring different organs of the body from each, which he then combined and enlivened, in an attempt to beget a child of his own. Bauchelain took the opportunity to post an advertisement for a manservant for himself. The advertisement was answered by Emancipor Reese, a now-unemployed servant of one of Korbal Broach's victims. Emancipor was accepted by Bauchelain and contracted for a year. Eventually, the local guards' investigation, lead by Sergent Guld discovered who was behind the murders and tried to apprehend Korbal Broach. At the same time, the necromancers were ambushed by their long-time hunter Steck Maynard, Mortal Sword Tulgord Vise and the Soletaken rat Greymane. Bauchelain and Korbal Broach repelled their assailants, and the next day departed Lamentable Moll on the ship Suncurl, along with Emancipor Reese.

"'Black is Bauchelain's eternal shade...'"
- Emancipor Reese
MoI, UK MMPB, p.50
"(...)tall, angular man (...) expensive, ankle-length cloak of black leather, high riding boots of the same over grey leggings, and beneath a loose silk shirt - also black - the glint of fine blackened chain armour...The master's face was pale, shaped much like a triangle, an impression further accentuated by a neatly-trimmed beard. His hair, slick with oil, was swept back from his high brow. His eyes were flat grey - as colourless as the rest of him - (...) soft, cultured voice (...) thin eyebrow (...)"

"'The other (referring to Bauchelain) has more arcane interests – a summoner, of formidable power.'"
- Pran Chole
MoI, UK Trade, p.241
"The pale eyes were set far back in a chalky, angular face, the forehead high and squared at the temples, the greying hair swept back and of mariner's length - long and tied in a single tail. An iron-streaked, pointed beard jutted from the man's square, solid chin."
BF, p.29
"Emancipor unlatched the lid and lifted it away, to reveal a dismantled crossbow, a dozen iron-shod quarrels, and a pair of mail gauntlets open at the palm and the finger-tips'..."
"'This was such a weapon, made by a master smith, constructed entirely of hardened, tempered iron, maybe even the famous D'Avorian Steel.'"
- Emancipor Reese on Bauchelain's crossbow
BF PSP, pb p.29
"'Ware the heads,', Bauchelain murmured, having come up to stand behind Emancipor. 'They kill at a touch, if blood be drawn'."
BF PSP, pb p.29
"Not just a sorcerer then. A Hood-stained, death-delving necromancer."
