Saoki is a 78-year-old male human paladin and cartographer. He loves to travel, and living in [[Rumblecusp]] and being stuck there (without a way to get off) has made him incredibly restless and sad. He had been known as the town drunkard, but the day that he found out that Vokodo had been killed and that there might be a way off the island, he sobered up.
> A tall, slim human with thick spectacles and graying hair sits on a foldable wooden chair by the road. Brush in hand, the man paints a beautiful map. The cartographer stops for a moment to mix oil paints.

## Personality
He loves:
- exploration
- stories
- rumors
- unusual names
**Personality trait**. When I hear of a new place, I must see it with my own eyes.
**Ideal**. My art speaks on my behalf, so it must be perfect.
**Bond**. My family waits for me back in the city. I must return soon. ([[ttrpgs/The Slayers Five/Port Damali]])
**Flaw**. I can't form bonds with most people because I'm afraid of losing those I care about.
