Chip Kiperly

Chip Kiperly, a man who mysteriously appeared in Tarnwick after the the tragedy there. Chip claims to be the last surviving member of Tarnwick and seems to possess knowledge of the town. He even sports Chaldecott honor garb along with a cloth mask he claims is "Made from one of Theodore Rhodes curtains". Although Kiperly tells the people of Morvanne he is a human, it is plainly obvious something else has taken ahold of him which is will calmly deny if asked; eventually the townsfolk stopped telling him. Chip can be frequently found wandering around the farmlands of Morvanne or around the town market where he lives. Although being well liked by the lesser class of the town and can be seen frequently joking with them; the upper class in Morvanne have a dislike of Kiperly. Kiperly's house seems completely empty on the inside. Multiple attempts from the Morvanne local government have been made to evict Kiperly from his residence and the motion is always blocked due to Kiperly being gifted the housing by members of the Tarnwick council a year ago; combined with the fact that the property is owned and perfectly maintained by Kiperly it is impossible for the local government to condemn his property.

With not much known about Kiperly, he is assumed a trickster. The locals enjoy his tall tales and joking demeanor. Many of the higher elite in the town believe Chip is hiding artifacts and books of knowledge on the disaster of Tarnwick due to information he's willingly told. When asked what exactly happened in Tarnwick's last hours Chip will respond with one of three phrases, "Why bore yourself?", "I can't remember.", or his most used phrase "It was more a learning experience than anything". If asked to delve into what he meant by the last phrase he will shrug his shoulders. It seems as if Kiperly will often times tell very accurate information about the town or will completely mislead a person when asked. Chip claims he was a guard in his previous life.
