Overview

An odd person, with far too much of an interest in magical matters and growing their own personal collection of runners who are willing to face off against anything to serve them. They are supposed to be operating in Russia...somewhere, but considering they rarely ever contact someone without several degrees of separation from themselves and their "prizes" as they would put it, it has been very difficult for anyone to hunt them down. This is likely also due to their hate of corporate eyes and hands over their "possessions". They seem to be quite fond of robbing corporate forces of their assets when given the chance, especially since those assets looking for an out tend to be the kind who can show their gratitude in ways The Keeper enjoys most.

They are an aficionado on all matters magical, incredibly helpful in assisting those who want to expand their magical talents in exchange for assistance down the line. They tend to keep eyes on talented awakened, and can often find a way to entice those with talent into working with them, one way or another, and can provide those helping hands to those under their employ as well.

GM Notes

  • They will usually find some obscure method of contacting the runner. A spirit from a mage under their employ, a ritual message, etc.
  • If for whatever reason they do meet someone in person, they are deeply paranoid of being traced or ambushed. Be cryptic and an utter pain to work with (at least meeting up) and make sure this person has as much of their identity concealed as possible
  • Someone trying to contact The Keeper is obviously going to have some issues. They usually have a dead number the runners are meant to use to leave messages, but depending on their awakened status they may have other methods (such as contacting someone they know works for Keeper) which would be faster. Somewhat. Again, degrees of separation.

Aspects Description

Aspect Description
Shrouded The Keeper is not easy to reach. They can't afford eyes on them. They will not allow some runner to jeopardize their safety when they have more to collect, more to research, more to do. Make an availability check whenever they are called upon and add a +3 to the check in order to find them. Even if it should be successful, results will be delayed.
Secret Lover Keeper of Secrets, it just makes too much sense with a moniker like that. Finding out what people don't want others to know about their magical practices is their forté.
Lover of the Arts Artificers rank among The Keeper's favorite people. They keep very close tabs on their favorites, and have an easier time sourcing foci for their favorite possessions.
Between Two Worlds The Metaplanes are incredibly difficult to navigate. This only intrigues them further. And if someone is willing to report back their findings...the Keeper is more than willing to lend a hand. Provided that whoever is asking is willing to report back interesting findings that will not jeopardize them, The Keeper gains +2 dice to Networking for Metaplanar experts and guides.
Rituals make the world go round. Ah, the joys of classical spellcraft. It's something The Keeper will actually let slip about themselves; they adore ritual work, and would be more than happy to assist with the materials required. +2 to acquiring Lodge Materials.
The Denizens and their Masters Oftentimes, some of the biggest threats a mage or the astral world can throw at a prize is a considerably large Spirit. The Keeper keeps an eye out on remarkable spirit specialists for this reason. +2 to network for spirit exorcists or researchers.
Foundational Knowledge It would be...unwise, to not keep tabs on those in corporate magical institutions. +2 knowledge checks for members of Public Magical Foundations
Nothing escapes Just because a corporation or government wishes to keep something out of the hands of the Keeper does not mean it will remain out of their hands. They extend the same courtesy to their runners. +2 to acquiring restricted or forbidden magical gear.
