Gentleman Bastard Codexery — Data & Quality

We publish our audit record because accuracy claims should be checkable. Every entry on this site runs through an automated fact-audit pipeline (accuracy audit → source-grounded repair → visual QA); this page is generated from that pipeline's own report, not written by hand.

This is a fiction/fan codex: entries describe an in-universe canon. Our audits check canon and internal consistency — external fact-checking does not apply the way it does on real-subject codexes.

Recent findings (audit lane, verbatim)

The Bastard Legacy — The Gray King impersonated Capa Barsavi's son only briefly, not as a long-term ruse; the entry's phrasing conflates this misleadingly.

The Bastard Legacy — The Shifting Market is not the Gentlemen Bastards' base; they operated primarily in the Shades and the Cauldron, and 'Wards' is not a canonical term for a slum district.

The Art of Thievery — The entry states that the Church and Guard 'actively hunt and execute thieves, offering no secret tolerance for legends like Locke Lamora.' In canon, there is secret tolerance for Locke Lamora because the Gray King pays off the Church and Guard, and later Capa

The Art of Thievery — The entry says 'the criminal underworld in Camorr is divided into the Thiefmaker's gangs and later the Gentleman Bastards under Capa Barsavi, not a group called the Nine Houses.' This is misleading because the Thiefmaker's gangs are pre-Barsavi, the Gentleman

Death of Gray King — The Gray King's real name is not Lucius Valerian; it is revealed to be the Falconer, a Bondsmage, and Lucius Valerian does not exist in the canon.

Reunion with Jeanne — The entry states 'The Bane is a specific character—the leader of the Blackhands—who mentors Locke in the early chapters of The Lies of Locke Lamora.' This is incorrect: The Bane is the title for the leader of the Blackhands, but the character who mentors Locke

The Thirteenth Necropolis — The entry claims Camorr has no 'Thirteenth Necropolis' or subterranean city of the dead, but the entry itself is titled 'The Thirteenth Necropolis', which is a fictional construct not found in the Gentleman Bastard series; the title itself is an invented claim

The Thirteenth Necropolis — The entry states that Camorr's 'underworld' is dominated by the Thieves' Guild (the Right People) and the Beggar's Guild, but in canon, the Beggar's Guild is not a major power in the same way; the primary criminal organizations are the Thieves' Guild (the Righ

The Imperial Palace — The entry incorrectly implies Duke Nicovante is the sole ruling authority, but the Capa also heavily influences the city.

The Imperial Palace — The Palace is described as being made of 'white marble,' but the canon specifies pale white stone, not explicitly marble.

Golden Hand Signet Ring — [staleness sweep] contains time-sensitive marker (currently holds) - verify against current source and re-date or remove
