The Quartermaster

"The beast spoke like a man, though it's hulking size and black chitin showed that it was no human. It offered us it's wares, weapons of all shapes and sizes. In return? Books. It wanted dusty old books for holy weapons that had not been seen for millennia. It even had an axe of the dwarven kings of old, just sitting there, collecting dust."

The Quartermaster

Appearance
The Quartermaster is an elder librarian, on the same level as the abbots that wander the halls. They stand over six feet tall, making them a medium-sized librarian. They walk hunched over, and their chitin is a dull grey. They have four arms and six eyes, the latter of which are the standard Librarian green.

They dress in blue robes, high-collared, wide-sleeved, and trimmed with gold. They bear swords in two of their hands and slung across their back, the weight of which causes their distinctive hunched walk. Their other arms are used to keep a record of debts and credits from those who purchase their wares.

Lore
The Quartermaster deals in weapons and equipment, which are gathered from the corpses of those who perish in the library. Accompanying them and aiding in their task are another class of Librarian, the Scavengers. Though their equipment is of high quality, the cost is steep. Debtors who refuse to pay up are transformed into Grinners, blind demonic creatures who serve The Quartermaster like loyal hounds. It travels often, moving from sector to sector. Some have theorized it has some connection to the Timekeeper, as it always seems to know where an adventuring party will go next, and is waiting at the entrance like he's always been there...
