Lady Sable Marlowe is a striking figure in the realm of Cruella, both for her stunning beauty and her ruthless ambition. At 5 feet 8 inches tall, with a statuesque presence and flowing blonde hair, she commands attention wherever she goes. However, it is her profession and her unparalleled ingenuity in her craft that make her truly remarkable—and feared.
Sable Marlowe is the chief designer and overseer of the realm’s most extravagant and punishing structures. Her specialty is creating luxurious yet devious spaces for the elite women of Cruella, combining her mastery of architecture and interior design with her sadistic streak. Palaces, dungeons, and pleasure chambers bear her signature—opulent environments that are as intimidating as they are beautiful. She has a penchant for designing hidden compartments, mechanical contraptions, and torturous furniture, all seamlessly integrated into her creations.
While her professional focus is on satisfying the whims of Cruella’s elite, she reserves her cruelest ingenuity for the punishment of men. Her dungeons and workhouses are infamous for their clever designs that break a man’s spirit through both physical torment and psychological manipulation. Male slaves dread being sent to a “Marlowe Chamber,” where every detail, down to the air flow, is designed to heighten their suffering.
Sable’s architectural prowess and her ability to weaponize her creativity have earned her immense power and influence in the realm. She is sought after by the wealthiest women, who delight in her ability to turn their darkest fantasies into reality. Her creations are both a status symbol and a practical tool for maintaining control.
Unlike many in the realm, Sable derives satisfaction not just from physical dominance but from the art of control and manipulation. She doesn’t merely punish male servants—she systematically breaks them. Her ability to transform an ordinary room into a labyrinth of suffering has made her indispensable to the realm’s elite.
Sable’s calm and collected demeanor hides her deeply sadistic tendencies. She speaks with precision and rarely raises her voice, knowing that her mere presence is enough to command respect and fear. Her cruelty is calculated, and she enjoys toying with her victims as much as she enjoys tormenting them. She often uses her own servants to test her latest designs, taking pleasure in their struggles as they attempt to endure the horrors she has created.
Her motto, whispered among the servants of Cruella, is: “Pain is in the details.”
Sable has a collection of miniature architectural models of every dungeon and chamber she has ever designed. These intricate replicas are displayed in her personal gallery, each one a symbol of her artistic and sadistic achievements. It is said she often studies these models in the evenings, thinking of ways to refine or enhance the torment they deliver.
