The Town Elder has gone through life with a boastful roar and an arrogant bravado. In reality, when confronted with the most tirival of threats, they are reduced to a whimpering, quivering lump; just as likely to soil themselves as they are to run screaming into the night.

Knows Too Much

Always one step ahead when it comes to solving mysteries or finding clues, the Town Elder lacks only the common sense tostay out of trouble. Frankly, it is amazing that they have lasted this long in life.
