Character from Azarinth Healer by Rhaegar
Shadow's Hand's centuries-old head librarian and information broker — a man who trades secrets the way other people trade coins, and who never forgets a debt or a detail.
Dagon doesn't fight and doesn't go on missions. What he does is know things. He's Shadow's Hand's information broker — trading secrets for secrets, holding confidences for precisely the duration requested, and maintaining a library that contains knowledge people would kill for. Several have tried. He's been alive for centuries, which gives him a perspective that shorter-lived members find either invaluable or irritating. He speaks carefully, trades information on explicit terms, and keeps a mental ledger of who owes what to whom. His girlfriend Elise is one of the few people who sees him outside his professional mode. On the council, he provides institutional memory that nobody else has. He knew Eregar's Hand when it was young. He watched the organization survive crises that current members don't even know happened. When Claire needs historical context for a political decision, Dagon is where she goes.
Centuries old but preserved by whatever keeps high-level humans alive far past their natural span. Has the composed, watchful look of someone who has been cataloguing secrets longer than most kingdoms have existed. Often found surrounded by books, scrolls, and the organized chaos of someone whose filing system makes sense only to them.
