**Keeper** is one of eight keepers inhabiting Dreamland and one of the main characters of *DREAMophrenia.* He first appeared in the first episode "Welcome to Dreamland".
He acts as a wise mentor to Liandra and the rest of his dreamwalkers, and directs their actions. The Keeper resides at a gatehouse, surrounded by a very deep cliff, extending to the Misty Megalopolis with his companion Mr. R, a nervous and unsociable guy, who is unquestionably obedient to the Keeper. Dreamwalkers visits the lodge, where they discuss matters at the table, while being treated to a cup of tea and a small treat. The Keeper shares with them necessary knowledge, and, in return, receives the information collected by dreamwalkers about the current state of Dreamland (The activity of nightmares, for example).
He never leaves his abode, only occasionally allowing himself to walk to the cliff. He has been living for centuries, guarding the balance over the real world and the world of Dreams, and, therefore, no longer remembers, how old he is.

Physical Appearance
The Keeper is not human, but has the appearance of a tall man in his fifties, with light skin and thin proportions. He's bald as a knee and adorns his face with a lush grey mustache. He has big brown eyes with giant eyebrows with a piercing heavy gaze, a large nose and slightly protruding ears.
He's dresses in a classic black shirt, over which he usually wears a knitted vest with pink and purple rhombus, dark blue pants and black patent leather shoes. A brown bow tie is tied around his neck. He also wears a pair of brown gloves made of thin leather, which he never takes off, not even during sleep.

Personality
The Keeper is calculating, painstaking, picky, very strict and cultured person. He keeps his house in the strictest purity and approaches every case with enviable pedantry, cause he likes to keep things in order. He's always as polite as possible and doesn't raise his voice. It's almost impossible for him to lose temper, he remains calm even in the moments of conflict.
The Keeper can be extremely sociable (for example, with guests) and hospitable, or he just locks himself in his office, not letting anyone in. He behaves quite friendly and harmless, but at the same time manages to be extremely tough if he needs something. He obviously knows and keeps thousands of secrets, but he won't share them with anyone, without a good reason. It's never clear what's on his mind. The Keeper collects information about what's going on in the world of dreams, analyzes it and then stores it in the lodge. He's very wise and attentive to anyone, who comes to visit him. Despite being reclusive, he stays in contact with the other keepers, since dealing with nightmares requires some teamwork. It's hardly possible he has enemies, but he can't be called a good-natured man with an open heart, because he sent inexperienced Liandra to deal with nightmares on her own in the first episode, and in the second one, he resorted frankly to blackmail Lu, in order to subdue her.
The Keeper is an undeniable authority to every dreamwalker. Even to harmful and rebellious Lu, he is able to find the right approach.
The Keeper loves to nag and teach, but when he has free time, he likes to enjoy a cup of tea with a good company, or just listen to some classical music, as revealed in his Q&A video. He's also really good at speed reading and keeps a chronicle of Dreamland, which contains most of his findings about the creatures, inhabiting Dreamland.

Relationships
**Liandra**: Liandra is one of the Keeper's dreamwalkers. For a long time, he treated her rather condescendingly, but at a certain point, he decided to use tougher methods against Li, forcibly sending her to certain death from a nightmare, and then teamed her up with Lu. But he often tries to cheer up the girl and helps her with the necessary information, receiving new ones in return.
**Lu**: To him, Lu is nothing but a troublemaker and a good tool for achieving his goals. He uses all available methods to get her to listen. After he failed to negotiate with her, he descended to outright blackmail, threatening Lu that if she refused, he'll expose her secret to everyone.
**Mr. R**: The Keeper has a master-servant relationship with Mr. R. He treats the boy strictly, but carefully and gives him a place to rest, food and some other services. By this method, he gets full control over him, which he makes use of giving him the necessary commands.
**Felicia**: Felicia is one of the Keeper's dreamwalkers. It is said they were still in contact with each other when she moved to the Talokh Cliff but stopped when she was frozen over by **Marie**. Not much is known about their relationship.
**Shawn**: Shawn is one of the Keeper's dreamwalkers. Not much is known about their relationship.

Abilities
Not much is known about the abilities of the Keeper and the other keepers in general. Only that he has the ability to collect and store information, live for a long time, and is capable of turning his eyes frighteningly black with luminous orange pupils of a ring shape, as shown in the second episode "Blackmail".
