Nyephal was once a respected artisan of his craft: jewelry. As time went on, he found that he lost inspiration and had come across many bouts of creator's block, which caused his works to become less eye-catching. Other artisans always seemed to know what customers liked, and so he decided to steal the secrets of his competition. When his attempts failed, he sought the next best thing: their thoughts. One day, while going through some occult paraphernalia, he handled a gem and came into contact with... well it called itself ᓭᒷᓵ∷ᒷℸ ̣ ꖎ𝙹⍊ᒷ∷, but Nyephal gave it a more pronounceable name: The Collector. It assumed the shape of a dragon so that it wouldn't accidentally break his mind. The Collector listened to his problems and proposed a deal: it would give him access to its powers, with a medallion of thoughts as a gift. In return, he would have to "commune" with the entity every month and tell it secrets and mysteries he has learned.

It was easy at first; Nyephal learned the secrets he wanted, and he made works that people enjoyed—for a time. After a while, Nyephal came to the sobering realisation that his inspired creations weren't his to begin with. Eventually, he ran out of secrets to tell, and The Collector was disappointed that its conduit was running dry. It suggested ripping him away from this plane of existence to go on a journey with it for secrets elsewhere, to which he pled for more time. Two weeks later he came across Noggins Discreet Investigations. After doing a few reconnaissance jobs for Noggins that eventually led to the arrest of corrupt figures, Nyephal suddenly had a sense of fulfillment that he hadn't felt in a long time. He quit his jewelry trade and became a full-time employee at the agency, finding that spark he lost so long ago. His patron has also been pleased with the new secrets he's learned.
