Contane by Great Grimoire

They say the king's fool is the only one permitted to speak the truth — but Cortane's truths come wrapped in a smile that never quite reaches the eyes, and a mace that ends the conversation entirely.

• ✔ 32mm scale resin miniature, printed fresh to order in the UK
• ✔ Supplied unpainted and ready to prime
• ✔ Compatible with D&D, Pathfinder, and all tabletop RPGs
• ✔ Equally at home on the gaming table or the display shelf

Cortane is a jester like no other: resplendent in a harlequin motley of diamond-patterned breeches, a ruffled lace collar, and a three-pronged fool's cap adorned with bells, this figure carries an air of theatrical menace. The real centrepiece is the weapon in Cortane's hand — a thick rope-wrapped grip topped with a grotesque cluster of carved faces, each one frozen in a different expression of anguish, mockery, and glee. It is as much a statement as it is a weapon. In the other hand rests a small star-tipped rod, almost an afterthought. The pose is mid-stride, performative and dangerous in equal measure — the walk of someone who knows the court will laugh whether they want to or not.

Whether you need a charismatic villain holding court in a noble's keep, a Warlock patron's herald arriving uninvited at a masquerade, or a bard of deeply questionable allegiances, Cortane brings a rare flavour of unsettling theatricality to the table. This mini works equally well as a display piece for collectors drawn to dark carnival aesthetics and Renaissance grotesque design.

Brilliant for adventurers who:

• Need a memorable villain NPC — a court jester turned murderous enforcer or royal assassin
• Want a characterful Bard or Warlock player character with a sinister edge
• Are running an intrigue-heavy campaign in a noble court, carnival, or city of masks
• Collect dark fantasy and theatrical character sculpts for display

Encounter Hook:
The party has been granted an audience with the Duke — but before he arrives, his jester enters, performing an elaborate routine that somehow, eerily, describes in perfect detail the party's last three crimes. Cortane pauses mid-twirl, mace resting on one shoulder, and asks with a wide grin: "Shall I continue, or would you prefer to discuss terms?"

Details

What's included:
Cortane is printed at 35mm scale — slightly taller and more imposing than standard 32mm minis, which suits this theatrical character well. If you'd prefer 32mm scaling, drop us a message and we'll be happy to adjust. A plain black base is included as standard; if you'd like a decorative base, select that option at checkout and let us know in the order notes which of the three base styles you'd prefer. The base is supplied separately and attaches easily with a small amount of glue. Supports are removed prior to dispatch; as with all fine-detail resin work, minor marks are occasionally possible but easily tidied up.
