User blog:Skylord Elberich/A brief explanation of the Collector

As his title suggests, he likes to collect stuff, including (but not limited to) s tories, artifacts, and curiosities. He also occasionally works as an advisor for the fears, and attends the bi-weekly council meetings for the fears from his universe. He has an impeccable sense of style, wearing only the finest suits and billycocks, and goes nowhere without his umbrella. He also wears teashades in an attempt to hide his blind, scarred eye. He uses a form of teleportation via a heavily modified door, allowing him to travel anwhere, anywhen, and anyhow (i.e. through space, time, and coexisting realities/universes). He has an apprentice, who will take his place in the highly unlikely event that he dies, is imprisoned for eternity, or is forcefully removed from the known universe(s). He also has five children, who were more interested in chaos and murder that becoming semi-eldritch antiquarians.

When not collecting, he enjoys preparing and drinking absinthe, smoking cigars, and trimming his beard to the perfect length (a quater the way down his chest)

He has an irrational fear of woodland dritters, especially beavers.

Basically, he's a not-quite-human enigma, an archetype of confusion. Put simply, he is the Collector.
