Liam

Liam is a judge NPC in Cascade Cabaret OCT : EnCCore Edition. He is owned by Treebook.

Appearance
Liam is very tall and muscular, with purple fur and a lilac mane. He has scars all over his body and a large, glowing, cracked orange core in the center of his chest suspended by brown straps. His right forearm has been sewn on, and is darker purple. His left paw has also been replaced with a gray one. He has long, hooked claws jutting from his paws. He is wearing violet pants and tall brownish boots. He also has a long, serpentine tail.

Liam has a single visible orange eye. The other half of his face is covered by a mask with a fierce expression. When wrestling with animals, he wears the mask fully over his face.

Personality
Liam's marionette core is defective, suppressing the violent programming the Cabaret gives most of its hunters. Instead, Liam is largely subdued. He cares deeply for the animals in his menagerie, having once been caged himself he tries to make them as comfortable as possible. He is paranoid about the other judges; though he does not fear them, he does not trust them. A notable exception is Canary. Liam is also somewhat scatterbrained. He attempts to help contestants, but often puts them into equally dangerous or worse situations through his efforts.

If Liam's core was ever to be reactivated, it would destroy his gentler personality and immediately resume the violent and dangerous programming the Cabaret wanted him to have as a hunter. He would become uncontrolled and vicious in this state.

Role in Rounds
Xabi - In Round 1, Liam is first mentioned by Molly as being one of the people to know the ancient letters, and then later on he catches both Xabi and Scoot from falling, and in the process recognizes Xabi's blobs and something about his name. At the end it is revealed he appears to have a blob similiar to those of Xabi hidden away in a box, which he's then seen talking to.
