Porter is a Moth Follower. He is callous and unpredictable, and has very specific preferences. His connection to The Moth seems be his former occupation as a barber, and the court case may have something to do with A Barber's Warning. The detective found Porter has begun to collect names, for a purpose that is known only to Porter.
One may engage in a romantic relationship with Porter if he is spoken to and The Ecdysis Club is chosen as the subject of discussion. Temptation: Change or any of its forms (ex., Change: Leaf) is also required to do so.
Porter was a barber, until the court case. [You might be able to recruit this acquaintance as a follower.]

Porter can be romanced at The Ecdysis Club.
My companion's breath comes short as they watch the display on the stage; not particularly when the bodies of the performers are unsheathed, but most of all when certain transformations are manifested.
- Invitation description
Porter hunches his shoulders and chews on a piece of liquorice root. 'Right,' he says.
- Followup description
Porter sits curled in his seat, motionless, but his eyes glitter as he watches the stage, and they glitter the same way when I lean in to kiss him. 'Your taste,' he says. 'We're the same.' He chuckles, and then he puts his hands back on me.
- Success description
Porter has taken the trouble to bathe before our time together. He has also taken the trouble to shave, meticulously.
- Season description
.
He is very specific about what he does, and does not, enjoy. I learn his ways: to draw in circles by his ear, to vex until he lights his pipe, to sweeten his tempers with sugared delights. I will never fully grasp this man, as he will not grasp me. But our years are speckled with what some might call love, and that is enough. [This might be considered a victory. But the House is no place for lovers.]
