“Only I felt like the storm building in the night sky was a harbinger of this man standing alone in the street. ”
—Emma M. Lion on The Tenant[1]
The Tenant is a character from the series The Unselected Journals of Emma M. Lion. Little is known about him or his origins. He is the current resident of Lapis Lazuli Minor.
History
The only thing known about The Tenant's origins before arriving in St. Crispian's is that he had been abroad since he was young.[2] Upon arriving in London, he moved into Lapis Lazuli Minor.[1] Just before his arrival to St. Crispian's, Agnes had an encounter with The Roman in which he warned that "a man of war comes to [Lapis Lazuli]".[3] Agnes assumed he was warning about the imminent arrival of The Tenant.
Relationships
The Tenant's only known relationship is that he is friends with Chambers, the owner of a gentleman's glove shop in St. Crispian's.[2]
Appearance and Personality
The Tenant is described as being tall, with broad shoulders and looking to be about thirty years old. His most distinctive feature is that he walks with a limp. When he first arrives to Lapis Lazuli he wears an unkempt beard, but after settling in is clean shaven.[1] Chambers described his disposition to Archibald Flat as "a good man, although with some unusual views."[2]
