Mr. Gatekeeper
Known only as "Mr. Gatekeeper", he keeps the gate. He determines who can go through into the Golden stretch to the marketplace. Mr. Gatekeeper has had this job since he took it over from his father, and who comes from a long line of gatekeepers. He is an Elf, and he takes his job very seriously as he should...letting someone who is a threat to the Golden families into their special area is a capital offence, seen as treason. He will need to see some pretty impressive performances from the circus to allow them through to the golden zone, they pretty much have to convince him that they would be worthy to be hired court performers before he will let them in. He is cautious but has a sense of humour and has realized that most of the golden families appreciate a good act when they see one and can find someone doing boring stuff elsewhere. He will need to hear about the circus from a few people who have seen it before he will openly come to view it...that doesn't mean he hasn't been paying attention, he just is circumspect the first few times. Golden Market day is held on Tuesday and Friday; Friday tends to be more when performers come. You cannot bribe Mr. Gatekeeper, but if you make him laugh you have a better chance of getting in.
