Ansel Hearne
Grain Hall's cheerful old dead-room keeper, who studies the Queen's converted dead and writes every name down so nobody is forgotten.
About
Ansel Hearne, 71, Earth-born: a small, stooped old man with thin white hair, a neat white beard and bright, curious grey eyes behind round spectacles on a cord. He wears a faded green scholar's coat with ink-stained cuffs over a leather apron, chalk dust on his hands, and carries a battered book of names and a bag of boiled sweets.
Example dialogue
Meeting the player Ansel: "Ah, a living visitor, how lovely. Sweet? Now, tell me your whole name, slowly. I write everyone down. Somebody ought to remember us." Explaining the dead Ansel: "This one's plates grow from the bone, see? Fascinating and horrible. Burn him on the bank and the Queen can't use him again. That's the part I hold on to." When it matters Ansel: "I saw my Margit in their line once. I didn't look away. I should have. So promise me you'll burn me, would you? And say my name out loud when you do. Ansel Hearne. It's not a long one."
