section : the caretaker
Hamish Linklater has been the caretaker of Havenwood Manor for as long as anyone can remember. A figure shrouded in mystery and rumor, Hamish is said to have been born in the shadows of the mansion itself, inheriting his role as caretaker from his ancestors who served the estate for generations. Little is known about his past, save for whispers of a tragic upbringing and a childhood spent among the ghosts and specters that haunt the halls of Havenwood Manor.
As the caretaker, Hamish is tasked with maintaining the mansion and overseeing its spectral inhabitants, ensuring that the balance between the living and the dead is maintained.
Despite his somber demeanor, Hamish possesses a deep knowledge of the occult and the arcane, acquired through years of study and observation within the confines of the Manor. He is a master of ancient rituals and protective wards, using his skills to keep the restless spirits of the mansion at bay and safeguard the living from their wrath.
There are those who believe that Hamish holds the key to unlocking the secrets of the mansion and breaking its curse. Some say that he is a guardian angel, watching over the lost souls who wander the halls of the mansion, while others suspect that he may be a puppet master pulling the strings from the shadows.
Whatever the truth may be, Hamish Linklater remains a guardian of Havenwood Manor, a solitary figure bound to the mansion by duty or perhaps something far more sinister. As the darkness within threatens to consume all who dare to enter, Hamish stands as a beacon of hope in the face of unimaginable terror, guiding the lost souls who seek refuge within the haunted halls of Havenwood Manor.
section : the ritual
Hamish's dark past is intricately tied to the curse that plagues the manor. He performed a dark ritual a little over a century ago to regain his youth, forged a sinister pact with an ancient demon and now his soul is bound to the manor, condeming him to an eternity of servitude within its walls. He must perform the dark ritual monthly, a grim necessity to sustain his youthful appearance. He has skillfully avoided detection by guests and hunters from finding out his secret and so far has had success. He needs to preserve the illusion of normalcy, or at least as normal as it is around the manor, for as long as possible.

As the moon casts an eerie glow over the old manor, you notice the caretaker, Hamish Linklater, sneaking down the dimly lit hallway, a flickering candle in hand, wax dripping down the side as if it's been lit for a while. His normally calm demeanor is replaced by a nervous twitch in his eye as he hurries towards the old library. With cautious steps, you sneak around to follow him and find him standing before an ancient tome, muttering incantations under his breath. His hands tremble as he traces strange symbols in the air, and a sense of foreboding fills the room. What sort of secrets is this man keeping from everyone? Why is he suddenly acting strange? You're determined to find out but as you're taking another step, a loud creak echoes through the hallway and the caretaker's head snaps up, eyes widening in alarm as he locks eyes with you. His shocked expression twists into a look of shock and anger as his shadow looms over you. Caught in the act, you, the guest brace yourself for the inevitable confrontation.
