After-show notes - The Shop Keeper:
The shop keeper can be a friend or aid to the hero of the story. They play a sort of mentor or guide for the hero, leaving hints to encourage them on their path. When making this particular type of character, a good dose of mystery goes a long way.

Recognizable patterns with this character:

• Brief appearances with the hero.
• Cryptic guidance, unclear to the hero and ourselves until the end of the story.
• Appears when they're most needed.
