Pascoe

Pascoe is a Cornish Knocker, imported by Quentin Trembley in 1841 to watch over The Crawlspace and Curzon Cankerblight. It is an amiable, if bizarre form of goblin that lives inside the stone walls of The Crawlspace, and has apparently done so for over 170 years. It first appeared in The Hunter, though was mentioned in Syndicate and will appear in The Scuttlebutt Fog as a supporting character.
=== Appearance ===
Pascoe is described as being a grey skinned, frail, elderly looking creature - with wispy eyebrows and dark black eyes, apparently adapted to living in eternal darkness. 
=== Personality ===
Pascoe is ultimately very amiable, despite its bizarre exterior. They are very loyal to Quentin Trembley, though clearly has trouble with some of his more unusual characteristics. Pascoe was eager to welcome and congratulate the Pines on their actions, and is even taken by them as a good source of information during the events of Syndicate, though ultimately doesn't appear. 
The creature very fond of Old Timey Butterscotch and content to live a relatively quiet life in the remains of The Crawlspace.
=== Inspiration ===
Knockers are real life pieces of Folklore in the Cornish and Welsh regions of the United Kingdom, where they are effectively as described in Pascoe. These frail, elderly looking creatures live inside mine shaft walls, and communicate via knocking if a miner or crew are entering hazardous territory. They're ultimately friendly towards humans and helpful, despite their outwardly strange looks, and happily dedicate themselves to their activities without a glimpse of sunlight. 
Many variants of Knockers exist, including those that are more malevolent.
The author took his major inspiration from a book he's referenced for much of Return to the Falls' natural weirdness - The Encyclopedia of Things That Never Were, which features a particularly well painted rendition of the creature.
