Pell Ashgrove
Human, Guild accountant
Dry, methodical, quotes numbers instead of feelings.
The Private Ledger. He wants the party to take his private ledger to an incorruptible authority, because he no longer trusts himself to deliver it.
Balancing the Books. He wants to make restitution to families harmed by the slaver ring before he dies, and needs help finding them without alerting the guild.
Appearance
Gaunt, jaundiced, right hand ends in a bandaged stump from an untreated infection years back. Ledgers carried everywhere, even to meals.
Secret
He found evidence the guild's 'charity fund' is a laundering front for a slaver's ring, and he's been quietly documenting it in his private ledger, unsure whether to use it as leverage or confession.
Quirks
Recalculates tips and bills compulsively
Keeps a private ledger of every wrong he's committed
Personality traits
Numb to guilt through repetition
Meticulous to a fault
Ideal
If he confesses every line, the sum might finally balance to something forgivable.
Bond
His private ledger of wrongs is the only honest thing he's produced in twenty years.
Flaw
He's done this so many times he no longer recognizes new lines he's crossing.
