Synopsis:
Dialogue with Archivist in House of Hope. He is the person who keep records on all Raphael projects. Half-way between a curator and an accountant, he's incredibly repressed, and obsessed with record-keeping and accounts.
He's the model of Order and tidiness, but being from the hells, he's also hiding a dark secret. In his case, he's a masochist, and finds the concept of breaking rules thrilling, though he hates to admit it.
Strict and severe, he will try to keep order unless the player leans on his vices or fears, in which case he'll become flustered and dismiss them to the boudoir.
