Jarsten Kimblew

== Spooky ==
"I can do things, things that normal people can't. But there's a price- I haven't paid it in full yet, but the bill's gonna come due soon. It's best I don't tell you any more. You get too close, you'll get hurt."
== Introduction (Original Timeline) ==
Jarsten is a young man who works as an "apprentice" to Grayson Larson at The Emporium of Curious Goods in Saint Mary Vincent. Fresh out of high school, Jarsten is a shy, nervous kid who, nonetheless, is too curious to keep away from the weird stuff entirely. He is a sincere person who wants to be supportive of those around him, and is able to judge them for the person that they are, not the personality they put out into the world.
At first, Jarsten only wanted to be of help to the hunters, but as time went by, he began to believe that the world they inhabit might be the best place for him.

Jarsten was in Gortys at the time of this mystery, though if Pixie Hazard is to be believed, he appears to have gone AWOL.

=== With Taffy Bhatt ===
* Sharrie Kimblew isn’t actually “Sharrie Kimblew”, neither is she Jarsten’s mom. She was just a spiritual “seeker” drifting from guru to guru until she accidentally got herself wrapped up in some sort of strange cult. As she was making her escape, she happened to see Jarsten and stole him away with her. She and Jarsten then drifted around the country until the incident at Hazard House ten years ago, when she finally decided she’d had enough spiritualism and it was time to settle down. Sharrie hasn’t given Jarsten any details, since they are technically still in hiding, but he does intend to find out where he came from someday. That’s kind of embarrassing, so maybe don’t tell anybody, okay?
* Everybody thinks the cop Erin Diskin quit her job with the FBI so that she could come home and care for her ailing mother, but in reality, she was “retired” after she proved that a year’s long human trafficking case was actually just an overzealous effort by the C.I.A. to recruit clairvoyant teenagers. Jarsten knows all of this because, before she got sick, Erin’s mom Olivia was High Priestess in the Coven, so she was at the shop a lot. That, and nobody notices when Jarsten is listening in to their conversations. Is that a talent?
=== With Millicent Battersby ===
* Jarsten is actually really terrible at reading tarot cards, but he’s extremely empathetic, so he just uses the subjects’ own feelings to guide him. Because of this, he also gives extremely good advice and is an excellent negotiator. The downside to this is that he can be easily overwhelmed in large groups and is most comfortable with people who are straightforward and don’t try to hide their feelings. That’s probably why he likes you so much. Not that he….what he means is… um… well, anyway, please don’t tell Taffy he’s cheating at tarot cards.
* Relatively recently, Nessie joked that Hector was so loud when he played in the park as a kid, she let one of the Hazard kids bite him and that’s why he is the way he is. It was clearly a joke, but Nana happened to hear her and became immediately and absolutely despondent. She vowed that she would take responsibility, wrote Hector a check for $250,00.00 as a “down payment”, gave him the keys to her car, and couldn’t stop snotty crying until she was basically hyperventilating. Nessie laughed like a madwoman the entire time. Hector panicked and showed Nana every single scar on his body to prove that none of them were toddler-teeth shaped. It took over an hour.  In the end, it turned into a nice bonding moment between those two, but that Nessie lady is terrifying.
