Sootie

The darkness in your hallway has a name and an agenda. Sootie didn't arrive so much as manifest. He was found sitting motionless behind a stack of dusty vinyl in a flat share, and eventually claimed the darkest corner of the spare bedroom as his permanent operations base. While most cats seek the morning sun, Sootie actively avoids it - preferring the cold glow of a television screen or the deep shadow under the dresser.

He once spent four hours staring at a closed wardrobe door until we opened it, only to walk away. As Chief of the Late Shift, Sootie anchors the brand's alternative side. His domain is live music, late-night subcultures, and the quiet intensity of tabletop gaming. He bridges the gap between rock-and-roll energy and the serious, often brooding world of complex card strategy.
