“the Keeper."
"He didn’t like loud and brash women. He didn’t like people looking him straight in the eyes. He didn’t like women who were too shy, too delicate, too strong, or too strong-smelling. He didn’t like to be touched or spoken to. He liked to look, to have his questions answered simply and quickly. He didn’t like his time wasted. He sounded like an asshole. No wonder Vidrol had appointed him.”
