Watchman

The Watchman is a silent sentinel posted at the gatehouse of Chase’s estate, clad in medieval-style uniform that blends duty with anachronistic flair. He operates the estate’s entrance with mechanical precision, relaying messages between external figures and Chase without embellishment or opinion. His demeanor shifts between detached neutrality and barely concealed anxiety, particularly when delivering threats—whether financial ultimatums from Miss Ducat or legal warnings from Sarah. The role demands no dialogue of his own, but his reports carry weight, binding the estate’s fragile isolation to the outside world’s demands.
