Backstory

Clarence Smoothpebble, esteemed librarian at the Serenity Athenaeum, has been the guardian of Coia's knowledge for more than three decades. Born amidst the echoes of peace in Coia City, Clarence was inspired by the resilience of the Dragonbone Vanguard—and the tales of their heroics that sang through the lands. His fascination led him to the Athenaeum, a bastion of preserved history and forbidden truths. He became not just a protector of books, but also a preserver of Coia's soul, often citing that through understanding history, one can illuminate the future.

Honored as a sage and nearly adopted into the noble circle, he remains loyal to the Athenaeum, safeguarding its secrets despite the tempestuous world outside. To the public, Clarence is a loving fatherly figure, offering wisdom wrapped in gentle words, yet maintaining a tightly sealed gate around the darker knowledge the library holds.
