Laidlaw is a ForgeFollower. He is ingenious, indefatigable, creative, and unpredictable.
One may engage in a romantic relationship with Laidlaw if he is spoken to and Oriflamme's Auction House is chosen as the subject of discussion. Temptation: Power or any of its forms (ex., Desire: Power) is also required to do so.
