Description

---

Owner of The Art of Scrapyard Maintenance, or the "Scrap Hut", in Esbeth.

Appearance

---

He’s a small, middle aged man with walnut skin, completely bald, dressed in sandals and a brown shift which might once have passed for an ancient monk’s cowl, before it got completely covered in oil stains. He is perched cross-legged upon a big shipping crate, surrounded on all sides by meticulously cleaned metal parts and pieces. He looks at you placidly.

History/Personality/Information of Note

Artie is a hyper-spiritual personality, taking note of qi levels and the particulars of feng shui. Accumulating objects for a living, he intends to "spiritually appraise" them through a series of meditation sessions. He considers himself to be a junk "dealer" rather than a junk merchant.
