Diligaf - The Information Broker

Diligaf

"It's not about what I have to give -- It's about what you have to offer."

Calm and calculating demeanor, and slow to trust strangers. His tall, innumerable shelves of dusty binders and books may seem mundane to a passerby, Diligaf's secret collection holds information to almost everything within the Andallian Kingdom. Trade manifests of an obscure trading company? Diligaf's got them. Andallian History? Diligaf has even the oldest tomes. Price of Wheat last year? Diligaf's organized them by season. Whereabouts of late Aunt Susie's blind cat from 12 years ago? ...well, he probably has something that can help. Diligaf's obsession with collecting even the most mundane of information is beat only by his own obsession with organizing and categorizing them all. Come into his tucked away office in Dreston with a request, and Diligaf is likely to have something to help you out.
This is not without a cost, of course. Diligaf's information brokering has been growing not from coin, but from the trade of information. Be prepared to give Diligaf some information in exchange of something from his vault. Diligaf likes collecting ledgers and manifests, but sightings, observations, or artifacts may have some value too.

GM's Notes

Diligaf is a convinient character to point PCs in the right direction. Players will need to come up with important information they have encountered in their adventures to impress Diligaf to move forward in the story. Diligaf is also great to introduce smaller quests before giving PCs new information to progress the story. Example side quests include:

• Eavesdrop on a local merchant regarding the shipment of rare gemstones.
• Break into a harbormaster's office and copy a shipping manifest of the next months trade ships.
• 'Convince' a local politician that Diligaf doesn't hold incriminating evidence against him.
• Help Diligaf apprehend a thief that has stolen a some of Diligaf's documents.
• Help Diligaf sneak across town to a safe house, after a failed attempt on Diligaf's life.
• Find the person who wans Diligaf dead

Diligaf might use these quests to leverage important information the players want, giving your campaign more variability, and some opportunity for fun urban encounters.
Diligaf also has 6 Shield Guardians patrolling his office, in case any PCs decide to steal or threathen Diligaf.
