character

Damascus Steel

One of the two missing strippers unaccounted for in the Desperado Club search.

Story so far

Damascus Steel is one of the two missing strippers, along with Anaconda, that Dong Quixote's group has been combing the Desperado Club for. Their search turned up nothing — the new concierge and Clarabelle both deny seeing them.

The disappearance is part of a larger pattern: The Penis Parade and Bitches have both re-opened with entirely new casts, and the old crews, including Snail Trail and Grandma Sticky, are all gone.

Role

A vanished Desperado Club dancer at the center of the search.
