The Janitor

The Janitor is a being that exists within the Sunken Temple. Although he has existed within the Sunken Temple since before the establishment of the Echo Division of the Federal Bureau of Magical Affairs, he does not seem to be affected by the passage of time. The Janitor spends most of his time in the Shallows and can be found throughout the Shallows, even in highly secured areas. There is a possibility that the Janitor is a low-class divinity, but little proof exists that can definitively confirm that.

Appearance
Although the Janitor is not part of the FBMA, he still wears a FBMA maintenance uniform. He utilizes the supplies that are provided to the maintenance department.

Attempts to take images of the Janitor fail through various methods, so any description of him is from eyewitness testimony. Even then, the descriptions can be vague and contradictory at the best of times. Most descriptions agree that the Janitor is an older man of average height, but any other detail seems to change from person to person. Most people are unable to describe the Janitor's face, though they all agree that he does in fact have a face.

Characteristics
The Janitor is a permanent resident of the Sunken Temple. He seems to be immune to the effects of the high ether levels in the Deep Sector, though he spends most of his time in the Shallows. Magic appears to have a markedly reduced effect on him.

The laws of reality do not always apply to the Janitor. He is capable of accessing areas that have been deemed off-limits or sealed away entirely. This has bought him into conflict with the security agents of the FBMA, but they have been ordered to leave him to his work.

The Janitor seems to be able to alter the layout of the Sunken Temple. There are reports of passages between areas appearing and disappearing without an accompanying building shift. The Janitor seems to use these passages to get to areas that require his attention.

Many of the Janitor's activities seem to utilize miracles, indicating that the Janitor is at least a Class E divinity, but there is little proof beyond anecdotal evidence. Areas that he has recently worked in are more resistant to damage and disorder.
