Guthrie

Guthrie is an NPC played by Griffin McElroy in The Adventure Zone: Ethersea. He is a Brinarr "archaeologist" and pirate who hired Amber, Devo, and Zoox as a salvage crew during The Gallery Job. He stole the Dreams of Deborah from Aloysius Supreme.

Appearance
Guthrie is a nervous-looking Brinarr who Griffin describes as "looking like a nerd." He is well-dressed and wearing a white lab coat when Amber, Devo, and Zoox first meet him.

History
According to the Curator, Guthrie is the Conservatory's main source of artifacts from the surface.

At some point before the events of the Gallery Job, Guthrie's former crew mutinied, leading him to hire Amber, Zoox, and Devo as a de-facto salvage crew.

The Gallery Job
Guthrie is first mentioned by Desdemona, who tells Amber, Devo, and Zoox that he'd come to her shop earlier looking to hire a salvage crew. Desperate for money, the trio heads down to the docks to meet him, and, although they are suspicious of him, they decide to take the job. Together, Amber, Devo, Zoox, and Guthrie board the Dreams of Deborah, which they use to travel to an old Hominine citadel that has sunken to the ocean floor; Guthrie hopes to recover paintings from its gallery.

While on board, a security sprite attacks the group, which leads Guthrie to admit that the Dreams of Deborah isn't actually his but rather his step-father's ship, and his step-father doesn't know that he's using it. As the group approaches the gallery, Amber intimidates Guthrie into admitting that the Dreams of Deborah was actually stolen from a stranger. Amber, Devo, and Zoox tie him up.

Upon arriving at the gallery, the group engages in brief combat with another ship. Devo and Guthrie leave the Dreams of Deborah in order to negotiate with its crew, namely Emery, who says that he will share his spoils if Devo agrees not to destroy his ship. Guthrie goes to inspect the paintings in Emery's cargo hold; instead he sets off a bomb, knocking himself unconscious and killing Emery.

Devo drags Guthrie back to the Dreams of Deborah and tells Zoox not to let him get away; Guthrie, now conscious, shoots Zoox, knocks him unconscious, and escapes into a recall pod, off the ship.
