## Profile

Doctor Nahi Inari is a highly-decorated historian, educator, and researcher who currently serves as EPD Eligos' resident Master Archivist and Devil Specialist. Prior to his service at the EPD he earned his Doctorate in Demonology at the Akademiya, with minors in Paranormal and Magical Studies. While pursuing his degree he further served as a librarian for the Akademiya Archives.

Though Inari serves in the EPD Eligos branch, he was recruited by and reports directly to the Grandmaster Archivist of EPD Central HQ, Elias Bouchard. Inari is responsible for the collection and organization of reports both physical and digital, as well as the digitization of old physical records. He is available for consult to all members of EPD Eligos. While he can assist with finding nearly any information, Alter Ego is a much faster alternative and has immediate access to any data which has been digitized and approved for use. Inari is best suited for providing insight into Devils and Devil behaviors (e.g., profiling), as well as more abstract interpretation of evidence or reports, the collection of new reports, and the maintenance of existing reports.

Doctor Inari hails from a line of Fennec Fox Tabaxi, a genealogy which expresses itself through his long ears, bushy tail, and colorful eyes. These traits are not just cosmetic: compared to a typical human, his hearing is far more acute, his balance is better and more graceful, and his sharp colorful eyes differ in light sensitivity. He elects to wear tinted glasses not for clarity but to tone down the intensity of everyday brightness.

Inari has been described by various coworkers as: "serious but friendly enough;" "brilliant and reliable if not a big reclusive;" and "an insufferable perfectionist." As an exceptionally mindful manager of the EPD Archives, he is known to be very particular in his oversight and personally presides over all operations under his jurisdiction. Despite workplace tensions with various colleagues--especially Nakamura, a frequent visitor to the Archives, Kiyoshi, and Nasir--he has received few complaints against him and his job performance has been regarded as overall exceptional.

Inari is not known to be a particularly social person, though he interacts frequently with the other Information Technicians in the Archives. Additionally--as stipulated by his job requirements--he is regularly available to EPD employees for requests and consults. Inari is dedicated to and passionate about his work, but does have interests outside of it; for instance, he has taken it upon himself to decorate the Archives with various plants, which he enjoys growing, caring for, and breeding. Inari spends most of his time in the Archives, and in his free time likes reading, writing, and studying. He also continues to contribute to the Akademiya despite being no longer officially affiliated.

## Responsibilities

Inari is the Master Archivist of the EPD Eligos Department's Archives. He works alongside Alter Ego and the other Information Technicians (presently Nasir and Pasternack) to maintain the department's records. This includes case files, personnel files, criminal files, evidence files, police reports, damage reports, research materials and resources, and more; any records produced, held by, or of use to the EPD branch are managed and maintained by Inari and his team. He cooperates closely with Alter Ego to digitize old and new records and to properly organize them.

Doctor Inari is further available for consults to all members of EPD Eligos. He personally has extensive knowledge of EPD Eligos' cases, threats, and history, as well as a thorough understanding of available resources and exactly where to find them. He is very talented at profiling Devils and can offer insight to assist in hunts, though he has no combat experience himself.

## History & Tenure

Inari succeeded his predecessor, Gertrude Robinson, four years ago (3857) upon the tragic passing of her and her team [Case #0082890, TODO]. He was an outside hire specifically selected by Doctor Bouchard for the position, prompting Inari--who had just recently completed his doctorate--to transition from a career in academics to one in public service.

In his four years of tenure, Inari has undertaken a complete overhaul of the Archives' organization, an effort which is still underway. This includes the complete review and digitization of old records and cases which had otherwise fallen into organizational disarray. Such efforts have attracted the attention of certain EPD Eligos personnel, such as Nakamura who has a profound interest in unsolved and forgotten cases.

To assist in this massive project, Inari requested that two assistants be hired. This led to the onboarding of Arin Nasir, another graduate from the Akademiya and a specialist in Rune Magic. Under Inari's direction, Nasir assists in magically labelling and sorting all records under review. More recently, Inari has been granted an intern hire, Brian Pasternack. Pasternack is currently a student at the Akademiya and works part-time in the Archives assisting with administrative work and filing.

Inari keeps all goings-on in the Archive under very careful watch. He is a strict manager and a strict adherent to policy. In his time, the Archives have seen massive improvements in organization and efficiency--though many lament his many rules regarding use of the library.
