Warner Page (Made with HeroForge)

A Librarian who had given the NW6 a job concerning the Hell Riders.

## History

### Arc 5: Plague's Servant

Though not introduced in face or in name, Warner was among the escaped slaves from the Hell Rider camp. When the NW6 returned to New Wells from Dugway, Victor was in the middle of using his new healing gun to close up a family's injuries, a family among the Hell Rider escapees. Victor explained that they'd been captives of a sort of gang, one that was more like a cult.

### Arc 6: Hell Riders

While hanging out with Tony near the barn, Gregg noticed that the Hell Rider refugees have been settling in over the past couple weeks. One of them approached her, an older man in worn clothes, thick-rimmed glasses, with salt and pepper hair. He introduced himself to Gregg, and asked if Addie or Atom were around. Gregg tried to deceive him, which he quickly caught on to, and he elaborated that he was a Librarian and had a job for them. After the party convenes in the barn, Warner mentioned Atom has been the talk of the Library for the past few days, and gave his condolences on Jenny's death. Finally, he gave the details on the job: a gang called the Hell Riders has been terrorizing the area and taking people captive as slaves. At the mention of the name, Red commented that he'd heard of them before, a bunch of guys living out of a car dealership without much to their name, small fries in the scheme of things. Warner told him that used to be the case, but their numbers had been increasing over the past couple months.

The Hell Riders had a base in a place called Burney, but he didn't know exactly where that was. Warner explained that a few weeks ago, he'd been scavenging in a town called Aden and ran into a couple kids. They invited him to their home for dinner, which he respectfully declined before heading on his way. Not long after, a group of bikers came and beat him up, taking him prisoner. He was blindfolded as they transported him, making it difficult to get a read on the location. Far as he could tell, it was roughly 75 miles south of Aden.

Pressed by Addie for details on the situation in Burney, He mentioned to Addie there were still about 25 slaves there, last he knew. The gang members had forced them to build statues, clear out parts of their base. He also mentioned the gang numbers over 45, all armed with full automatics and plenty willing to use cruelty and violence on any that oppose them. Prisoners were being kept in a small pit in the ground covered by a grate. The gang itself was seeking magical talent. At Addie's questioning of any other important details, Warner recalled a symbol he'd seen often there, especially on the jackets of gang members: an eye in a triangle with three smaller eyes at the corners. Gregg properly identified the symbol as one of the demon Atheron, one that's very powerful and associated with human sacrifice.

Job detailing concluded, Warner informed the party of his work and the reward: he and his associates of the Library, based in Sacramento, specialize in recovering knowledge and storing every book they come across into the few remaining functioning servers they have. They have texts on almost everything, and a library card is needed to gain access to much of that knowledge. If the NW6 completed this job, they'd be rewarded with their own library cards, and $100 dollars each. A new branch of the library was mentioned to be opening in Junkyard: the Hellstromme Library. If the party could pull off this job, the Librarians would be willing to give them more work. In the meantime, he'd be getting transportation to Junkyard, and would meet us at the Yard Arms hotel in Junkyard. At that, he gave a small advance payment, and left the party to their work.

After the NW6 defeated Atheron and his Hell Riders, and returned to New Wells, they found Warner there waiting for them. As promised, he gave them the rest of their earned bullets, and their library cards. Warner disclosed that his ride never came for him, and somewhat awkwardly asked to tag along with the party when they decided to head off to Junkyard.

### Arc 7: Tracking Liberty

The NW6 took Warner with them on their trip to Junkyard, leaving him at the Yard Arms hotel.

### Arc 10: The Summit

In early June of 2096, Warner headed a delegation for the Library in their attempts to have talks with Junkyard's underground mutant families, the moorlocks. The talks broke down quickly, and he, along with the others of his delegation, went missing.

### Arc 16: Rivalries

On December 4th, Warner attended the second summit of the Iron Alliance in representation of the Library, along with another member Bartolo.
