Old Man Harlen

Role: Street Urchin and Informant
Description: A blind, elderly human who has lived his entire life in the shadows of the Iron-Grip District. Despite his lack of sight, he knows the internal layout of every major building in the district, having spent decades navigating the ventilation ducts and maintenance crawlspaces. He is often underestimated, appearing as just another beggar, but his ears are sharp, and his memory for architectural detail is flawless.

The Hook: Harlen can be hired to guide parties through "unofficial" entrances to high-security locations. He doesn't want gold; he wants news of the outside world or a warm meal from a kitchen he can't access. He claims the pipes in the Iron-Grip District are "whispering" about a coming collapse.
