Shiff

Shiff was the personal secretary of Humble Measure of the Eldra Iron Mongers ironworks of Darujhistan. The secretary had his desk in the outer office of his employer. Shiff was described as being pale and "cadaverous".Orb Sceptre Throne, Chapter 2, US TPB p.75-76 Humble Measure routinely addressed his secretary as Mister Shiff.Orb Sceptre Throne, Chapter 5, US TPB p.158

When 'Scholar' Ebbin came to the ironworks to speak to Humble Measure - who was supporting his work - to ask for more resources, Ebbin was ushered into the inner office by Shiff. Mister Shiff remarked to the Scholar that, "You are lucky...[t]he master is rarely in...I will announce you."Orb Sceptre Throne, Chapter 2, US TPB p.75-76
Later, Shiff tried to prevent the unannounced entry of a group of "armed and armoured" guards of the City Watch who were escorting a clerk of the Ruling Council of Darujhistan. This clerk of the council had a written order from the newly elected City Legate to deliver to Humble Measure and would not permit Shiff the time to announce the delegation and instead had his guards kick down the double doors into the inner office. After the delegation had delivered its message and had left, Shiff offered to schedule an appointment with the office of the Legate, but the ironmonger told his secretary, "No. No need for that, Mister Shiff...[the Legate will] see me".Orb Sceptre Throne, Chapter 5, US TPB p.157-158
