==The Truth-Seeker==

''The patron of truth''.

'''Usual Location''':  The Truth-Seeker almost never joins his agents and hirelings on their expeditions, instead remaining at his family residence in the northern countryside of Naseria.

'''Common Knowledge''':  An influential and extremely wealthy Naserian noble, the Truth-Seeker is neither the head of his House nor holder of any significant governmental position; yet he still sits at the centre of a wide network of scholars, scavengers and spies.  He is dedicated to unearthing great truths of the world - of the past, of gods and monsters - and under his patronage lore-hunters across the nations pry at ancient ruins, practice eldritch experiments and steal knowledge from those who would simply hoard it.

'''Characters and the Truth-Seeker''': The Truth-Seeker is the spider at the centre of the web, and is entirely reliant on hirelings and agents to dig up lore for him - he always has need of trustworthy agents of any walk of life, but particularly those of a more arcane bent.

'''Allies''':  The Truth-Seeker's network appears to cross over with that of the Solitary Flame, and the two seem happy to deal with each other.  The Merchant Prince is willing to make transactions with the Truth-Seeker as long as an appropriate price is paid.  The Truth-Seeker's agents have occasionally worked alongside servants of both the Thornmaiden and Magistrate when their goals are mutual, and has shared information with both of them when he deems it necessary.

'''Enemies''':  The Vault-Keeper has little time for the Truth-Seeker's alarmingly incautious approach to knowledge, especially that which has been kept secret for a reason.  Likewise, the Silver Warder finds the Truth-Seeker a reckless fool who would unearth and free that which should remain under lock and key.  The Manipulator-General is an outright foe, not just due to war between Naseria and Carthagia but because of the eldritch secrets that the Carthagians have pried from the strange excavations beneath their mountains - lore that the Truth-Seeker highly prizes.

'''The True Danger''':  One day, the Truth-Seeker's hunger for secrets may result in him digging something up that he can't put down.
