is a unique NPC and quest giver found in, assuming that the player did not choose one of the random village starts. Additionally, he serves as village tinker, a vendor who sells scrap and data disks.

The quests he gives, Fetch Argyve a Knickknack, Fetch Argyve Another Knickknack, Weirdwire Conduit.. Eureka!, and A Canticle for Barathrum, are the first 4 quests in the main quest of.

Due to being a member of the Barathrumites, a faction which hates the Mechanimists faction,  will be hostile to any members of the Mechanimists. This is relevant because there is a Mechanimist present in, the who grants the O Glorious Shekhinah! quest. This Zealot will, in their random pathfinding around Joppa, eventually wander into the sight of, who will immediately attack and kill them. It is thus advisable to get the O Glorious Shekhinah! quest early on in a playthrough, before kills the Zealot.
