Character Page - The Box Maker

Creator
Usually found close to, or in the same area as the Witch, the Box Maker could possibly be viewed as something of an antagonist. Though it is not malice which dictates his actions.
Seemingly indestructible he is not as human as he may appear and almost always has his collection of boxes strapped around his bent frame. The weight has no bearing upon his movement or speed however.
The Box Maker is personable by nature and quite tolerant of a lot. Not quick to temper his demeanour may be perceived by some as 'simple' - a fact further backed up by his seemingly constant smile. Despite his somewhat ugly appearance warding people off, he is fond of conversation and company and it is this which eases the apprehensions some may feel about him. Thus he can travel freely through settlements offering up his boxes and whatever other trinkets may be inside..
There is, however, a sharper and almost predatory side to him which many cannot clearly perceive or even detect - but feel the uneasy shadow of.
Despite creating physical boxes, In essence, the Box Maker offers people what they believe they need or want. His payment in return may be to take a small object, or a few coins, or perhaps even, what they actually need when they need it most. It varies, but once his offer is accepted, the Box Maker is entitled to take his payment and will.
The Box Maker can be generous however if treated correct - and people may find unexpected things in their boxes, things they need, things they want, things they have no memory of ever owning - but he can also be extremely dangerous if crossed or angered.
There is power in his boxes and all are precious to him in a way. Some however are more so than others.

Ahh gosh this is immensely interesting!!! So if he takes something from people - causing them either good or harm - according to what they want to be given, does that make him, in a way, a judge? Like, if someone wants something that he considers "wrong", he takes what they need most from them?
I love all the symbolism in your characters, there's so much depth to each of them!
