Pilts owns and runs Old Korvosa’s Exemplary Execrables, a playhouse that caters to those seeking perverse and morally-questionable entertainment.

According to Field Marshall Cressida Kroft, he has a long-standing rivalry with Devargo Barvasi, the self-proclaimed King of Spiders.

After the quarantine on Old Korvosa hit, he rose to power as the self-styled Emperor of Old Korvosa and ruled the ward of Old Dock with his band of thugs. But when he unwittingly took an important informant prisoner, our heroes used the opportunity to get rid of the viciously sadistic “Emperor” and killed him in his very own bedroom.
