His name isn’t Montrose.
It can’t be. He throws himself into every role he can for the heist, slipping into the skin of a persona and settling in like its second nature. Names have been a long running TAZ theme, but Steeplechase has an extra layer to that. The idea of actors lost in their roles is intrinsically tied into the world of Dentonic. Roleplay within roleplay, and they keep making jokes about how many levels of acting they’re on, but how far does it go? Goodparty -because that’s the one truth I think he has- wears so many faces except his own, and I just cannot believe Montrose is any more real than the rest of them. Masks and names and roles. A world designed to perfection for escaping, hardlight blurring the lines of reality even further until they break. I think he’s lost himself in the performance.
