ALLEY BARRICADE REMEMBERS.

KNOWN AS · Alley Barricade

“GLOWS. DOESN'T BEHAVE.”

He nods to a woman holding a lantern in the Narrows every time he passes, as if they had history. Nobody in the Narrows has asked twice.

IF YOU SEE HIM

Known for speeches that start riots and end in group hugs. Believe it. He has never once been seen laughing in public, which only makes people more nervous.

“HE NODS TO A STATUE. HE SAYS IT NODDED FIRST.”
— OVERHEARD, MORE THAN ONCE

WHY

A tour guide in the Narrows was halfway through explaining a woman holding a lantern when he walked past and nodded to it like an old acquaintance. The tour has included the nod ever since.
