J.B. Adelaide

J.B. Adelaide is a hedge mage and ringmaster of a traveling performance troupe in Akham.

He is an NPC played by Brennan Lee Mulligan.

Description
Adelaide is a short, human man. On stage, he wears a top hat, white gloves, and carries a black and silver wand. Up close, thick stage makeup attempts to obscure a "watery, sad-eyed grimace."

Background
Approximately two years before Eursulon, Suvi, and Ame are reunited as adults, Eursulon joined Adelaide's troupe as a performer. During his time with the troupe, Eursulon began missing shows causing Adelaide to take his music box as collateral.

The Wizard, the Witch, and the Wild One
When Suvi and Ame arrive in Joras, they stumble upon Adelaide's troupe performing at a local carnival. The show begins and soon Eursulon takes the stage playing an ogre without his glamour. Horrified, Ame yells causing Eursulon to notice his two friends in the crowd. He rushes off stage, runs into Adelaide, and asks for his music box back. Adelaide, frustrated by Eursulon ditching the performance, refuses to return the music box. Eursulon hides in a tent but is quickly found by Suvi and Ame who followed him backstage. Eursulon explains he doesn't have Wavebreaker or the music box. Suvi, furious at the way Eursulon has been treated, finds Adelaide hiding in his trailer and retrieves the music box. Adelaide runs away, serpentine, through a nearby field.
