THE BENEFACTOR hn_benefactor 

The mysterious being who benevolently granted you stay at his hotel. Not much is known about the Benefactor. It all seems to be quiet rumors with no hard facts. All you know is that all requests you make to the Concierge go to them. No one has ever been able to speak to them directly aside from the Concierge. They've likely brought you to Hotel Nexus for some reason, but whatever that reason may be is unknown.

THE CONCIERGE hn_concierge 

Every good hotel has a concierge and the Hotel Nexus is no different, although they may not always be around when you want to talk to them. The Concierge may be found in an area of the expansive lobby at a dark marble desk with the word “CONCIERGE” emblazoned across the front in large, gleaming gold. On the desk lies a small golden bell that must be rang in order to summon The Concierge. The being that appears seems to change all the time, sometimes male, sometimes female, sometimes it's hard to place a gender at all. What's more is that they appear as if a hologram. They also do not always appear when called for...

THE SPECTRES hn_spectre 

When you first arrive, you will encounter only the person in the suit who greeted you and other player characters who may be nearby. As you explore the hotel, you will sometimes hear faint sounds - muffled footsteps moving rapidly down the hall behind you, the swoosh of a heavy door closing, what sounds like distant voices. There is no discernible source for these noises, so it’s easy to tell yourself that you’re hearing things. After you’ve slept your first night in your new suite, you start to notice an increase in the movement of shadows in your peripheral vision. As time passes, the shadows start to take shape… sort of. Vaguely humanoid and fuzzy at the edges. The harder you try to focus on them, the less distinct they appear. Be careful: trying too much to look at them may hurt your head. The longer your stay is at the Hotel Nexus, the more you will be able to see these shadowy spectres roaming the halls with you. If you happen to walk through one, it feels as if you’ve been doused in ice water and your heart stopped for a moment. Best watch where you’re going. The spectres won’t respond when you talk to them - it’s like they don’t even realize you’re there. You will notice that they come and go from rooms and interact with various facilities and aspects of the hotel. Congratulations, you’re not alone here, after all.
