Dhuosnos / Tobi

Dhuosnos - The Old Man of the Market, owns the Demesnes it is set on, alchemically measures Sins and Virtues.
Thread Expectation: One toplevel per Mingle; tagging out only required to keep the peace. Dhuosnos rarely spares time from his alchemy for extended conversations; most threads with him can end after a tag or two unless someone has a serious valid proposal for a deal for the new Princedom he’s bestowing.
Check-In Expectation: Pass along any questions about the Market so Dhuosnos can answer them if he likes! He probably doesn’t want to answer many questions, though.
Privileged Information: The Stone (see below).
Outlook: Cantankerous, independent, and fair-minded. Dhuosnos believes the dead deserve a fair deal, and is disenchanted with any other being’s willingness to give it to them. Generally, people interest him less than alchemy.
Goals: Keep the Peace of the Market. Boot those who break the peace out for the remainder of the mingle.
Mythic/Folklore Inspiration: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donn
Skills: Stone of the Prince of the Market. This Demesnes grants you sovereignty over the Market and the nearby banks of the Styx, and the right to apportion and distribute smaller Demesnes within the Market. You don’t display it.

This fuck-off huge rock with a hole through its center is buried under the market hill. Any soul who passes through it becomes a legal citizen of Purgatory, a status generally reserved for Sithen. Its existence is not generally known; its location is an absolute secret, its properties defended by dosing the over-informed with Lethe water, and its custody the reason the Queen of the Sithen generally lets Dhuosnos do as he pleases.
