Arena Owner & Information Broker
The Aasimar showman who runs the Knight’s Brawler gladiator pit on El Cinede — an old dealer in spectacle and secrets who sources his monsters from “below,” gives the party the tallow lanyard, and (secretly Crew) hands Gypsy Jenkins a poisoned croissant.

Overview
Rikor owns the Knight’s Brawler, where the party fights its first real combat (Ch 1.2). He wants snappy, impressive fights and deals information to those who entertain him. After the brawl he rewards them with 1,000 gold and — privately — a tallow lanyard keyed to the Ascendance Library, pointing them “to the source down below.”
He’s quietly Crew-aligned: his arena’s purple “Lost Children” come from the same captured-and-mutated pipeline beneath the city, and in Ch 1.3 he poisons Gypsy Jenkins (the croissant that writes her out for several sessions).
