Simon Voltaire

The Master of Paris is an as-yet unseen Spark who rules over the city of Paris. He is characterised as being [ content to stay at home] defending only his own area, but maintaining the peace of Paris with an [ iron hand] with the [ politest lawmen].

He is depicted on one of the cards in "The Works" as a substantial man, on the lines of Master Payne. This portraiture may not be accurate, as the appearances of other personages have been substantially different. Also according to the cards, he has a daughter, Colette, who is in service to her father's government as a spy.

According to [ Othar's Twitter], the Master is currently in need of the services of everyone's favorite Gentleman Adventurer. As of the Sept. 11 2008 twitter entry, the Master is also the latest entry on the list of sparks who want to exterminate Othar.
