Overview #

Stacee Thistletop is a Senior Restorationist and Archivist at the prestigious Quarterfaux Archives in Caliphas. To the public and her academic peers, she is a brilliant, if eccentric, preservationist specializing in the “mechanical curiosities” of the Shining Crusade. She is known for her vibrant fashion sense, which stands in stark contrast to the dusty, gray robes of her colleagues.

Privately, Stacee serves as the primary “clean” contact for Vesper and the Glass Spiders. While she is not a thug or a thief, she acts as the gatekeeper for Vesper’s operations within the Archives, using her clearance to smuggle artifacts in and out under the guise of “acquisitions” and “restoration projects.”

Appearance #

Stacee is a halfling of striking presence, often described as “a bird of paradise trapped in a mausoleum.”

  • Fashion: She rejects the drab attire of Ustalavic academia, preferring tailored waistcoats of emerald and violet, often accessorized with brass magnification lenses worn like jewelry.

  • Physicality: Her hair is typically dyed a shocking shade of thistle-purple (a nod to her surname), and her fingers are perpetually stained with ink and alchemical reagents.

The Archivist #

Stacee works in the Restoration Wing, a restricted section of the Archives. Her official duties include:

  • Cataloging Relics: Verifying the authenticity of artifacts brought in by the Ustalavic nobility.

  • The Iron Saint: She is the publicly listed “Chief Curator” for the Iron Saint exhibit—the massive, dormant construct in the main atrium.
