Antiquarian

A person who delights in the timeless excellence of design and execution, and in the power of ancient lore. Probably the most Lovecraft-like occupation available to an investigator. An independent income allows the antiquarian to explore things old and obscure, perhaps sharpening their focus down particular lines of enquiry based on personal preference and interest. Usually a person with an appreciative eye and a swift mind, who frequently finds mordant or contemptuous humor in the foolishness of the ignorant, the pompous, and the greedy.
