The Curator

The Curator is an NPC played by Griffin McElroy on The Adventure Zone: Ethersea. He runs the Conservatory in the Crystal Ascension in Founder's Wake, and is almost solely responsible for collecting and caring for the relics of the surface world.

History
The Curator was a member of the shoreside community during the events of the Prologue.

The Gallery Job
The Coriolis crew was taken to see the Curator after the events of Arc 1: The Gallery Job. He admits that he Guthrie has historically been a "very prolific donor" to the Curator's galleries, and as such, he feels responsible for Guthrie's actions. He apologizes to the crew and promises to both compensate them and see that Beck and Skittles are put in Brother Seldom's care; following that, he has the crew sign a non-disclosure agreement and pays them 40 lux in order to get "right of first refusal" on any recovered relics they find during their travels.

The Menagerie
The Coriolis crew takes a job from the Curator at the beginning of Arc 4: The Menagerie; they are to find and recover several pairs of nearly extinct animals from the surface that were stolen from the Conservatory. During their briefing, the Curator shows the crew a horse, and then rides around on it, much to the horse's dismay.

Later, Devo contacts him via Sending and requests he send the Biggest Baby to their coordinates for backup. He and Ballaster Kodeira arrive after the Coriolis crew has escaped Crescendo with the missing animals; though the Curator is saddened by the loss of the rhinos, he is happy to find out that the servile is pregnant. He promises Devo that he will look into more humane methods of containment for the animals.

Appearance
The Curator is an older man, described as "wild-haired" and "bushy-bearded."
