Reminder to Review and Rewrite specifically character species, as existing species should be used whenever applicable.

The Caretakers of the Endless Archive

The Endless Archive is managed by an autonomous group of Caretakers, each of whom oversees a specific wing with their own unique—and often incompatible—system of organization. While they view one another as equals, each Caretaker maintains strict control over their own domain, allowing only their personally chosen subordinates to work within their sections. Together, they preserve and expand the Archive’s immense collection of knowledge, even if their methods sometimes clash.

Thalia Voss

Species: Merothian (bat-like humanoid)
Gender: Female
Role: Official Head of the Archive and Caretaker of the Main Floor
Description: Thalia is responsible for the main floor and thus manages the general operations of the Endless Archive, giving her a broader, diplomatic role among the Caretakers. With her sharp memory and impeccable intuition, she is known for gliding silently between shelves, guiding researchers with an almost supernatural sense of direction. Thalia is both fiercely dedicated to the preservation of knowledge and protective of her wing’s organization, which she views as a masterpiece of subtle order.

Xeth Marran

Species: Fadrii (insectoid with four arms and compound eyes)
Gender: Male
Role: Caretaker of ORDER’s Internal Records
Description: Xeth oversees the vast and continually expanding wing dedicated to ORDER’s internal records, encompassing mission reports, research data, personnel files, and administrative documents. His love of intricate systems is reflected in his highly detailed, almost obsessive organization style, which allows him to efficiently handle the thousands of pages added daily. Xeth’s compound eyes allow him to spot patterns at a glance, making him exceptionally skilled at tracking anomalies within ORDER’s operations.

Liora Mnemon

Species: Aethyrite (ethereal, can phase through objects)
Gender: Genderfluid
Role: Caretaker of Fiction and Mythology
Description: Liora oversees the fiction and mythology wing, a mysterious and whimsical section of the Archive filled with folktales, poetry, epics, and mythical lore from across the multiverse. They possess a unique sense of where each piece “belongs,” believing that stories find their own resting place in the Archive. Liora’s phasing ability allows them to move fluidly through the wing, sometimes disappearing for hours or days as they discover hidden alcoves or uncover forgotten tales within the endless shelves of fiction.

Emira Talonshard

Species: Harpyrean (avian, with feathered arms and talons)
Gender: Female
Role: Caretaker of History
Description: Emira’s domain is the history wing, a meticulously organized and comprehensive collection of historical records, biographies, and chronicles from various realms. Known for her keen vision and photographic memory, she navigates the towering shelves with grace, often observing her domain from high perches. Emira’s wing is organized according to her own rigorous standards, with only the most dedicated researchers permitted to study under her watch. She is fiercely protective of the Archive’s historical records, which she views as essential to understanding the multiverse’s intricate web of past events.

The Librarians of the Endless Archive

Due to the vast scale and ever-expanding collections of the Endless Archive, each Caretaker relies on numerous librarians to manage, maintain, and assist researchers within their assigned domains. These librarians are trained specifically in the unique organizational styles of their respective Caretakers, ensuring that each wing’s collection is kept according to its guardian’s precise preferences.

Gregor Tallywix

Species: Bovesh (bull-like humanoid)
Gender: Male
Assigned Wing: Internal Records under Xeth Marran
Description: Gregor is a steadfast and reliable librarian known for his impressive physical strength and surprising dexterity, which he uses to navigate the towering stacks and handle large volumes of documents within the Internal Records wing. Often seen hauling collections between sections or rearranging entire shelves, Gregor’s organizational skills are invaluable to Xeth, who appreciates his ability to bring structure to complex filing systems. Despite his gruff exterior, Gregor is known to lend a hand to colleagues and researchers struggling with Xeth’s intricate systems, offering quiet guidance without compromising the wing’s strict organizational standards.

Ehron Quillspine

Species: Felnari (porcupine-like species with color-changing quills)
Gender: Agender (uses they/them pronouns)
Assigned Wing: Fiction and Mythology under Liora Mnemon
Description: A soft-spoken yet highly perceptive librarian, Ehron assists Liora in managing the eclectic and often elusive collection of fiction and mythology. With their color-shifting quills reflecting their emotions, Ehron is a visible yet calming presence in the wing, guiding researchers through the maze of folktales, myths, and epic sagas collected from countless realms. They share Liora’s view that the Archive’s stories often “find their own place,” and are known for offering cryptic but insightful advice to those in search of rare works. Ehron’s deep respect for narrative and symbolism makes them a fitting guide within this imaginative wing.

Other Librarians in the Endless Archive

Each wing of the Archive contains its own unique set of librarians, handpicked by their Caretakers for their specific talents and dedication to ORDER’s mission. These librarians contribute not only to the Archive’s organization but to its atmosphere, each one bringing their own personality and quirks to the labyrinthine shelves of knowledge. Their work is vital to preserving the multiverse’s diverse information, ensuring that each fragment of lore, each piece of history, and each document of ORDER’s legacy is safely maintained for future generations.
