The Shady Informant is Dungeon Inc.’s Acquisition Specialist, a freelance contractor responsible for supplying the Dungeon in fresh adventurers. No one knows his real name, and that’s how he likes it. He drifts from tavern to tavern, selling tales of treasure and opportunities to would-be heroes. Most of his stories end in glory. Some end in contracts. Officially, he’s an anonymous quest source. In reality, he’s the dungeon's most effective recruiter, paid he’s paid per head.
