The Spider

The Spider is the changeling that knows where all the bodies are buried, so to speak. They lack the vision that Eck has, but they are one of the key players that puts that vision into focus. Lacking any leadership skills of their own, The Spider instead has become a specialist in collecting and synthesizing information. Combined with their skills to retain factiods and trivial pieces of information has made The Spider both an invaluable asset and a potential target for rival gangs if they discovered his existence.
Having The Spider within the "inner circle" of the Tyrants allows Eck to maintain a small number of confidants and delegate many tasks to a singular person. Though they are not involved in many of the tactical decisions, The Spider is a strategic resource that is indespensible.

In our story:

The Spider approached the party directly to give them the information they needed to reach Cavallah to parley on behalf of The Crooked Mirror. He has demonstrated a low aptitude for field craft, but possesses an overpowering flair for the dramatic and a keen mind.
