Details
during the museum's evening closing period.

Dr. Elias Wren was found dead in the museum archive during the evening closing period. The archive is closed while police and museum staff look into what happened. By morning, the corridors are quiet, and people around the museum are speaking cautiously.

The victim

Dr. Elias Wren cared for the museum's records and the people trusted to handle them. He was patient when someone made an honest mistake, but he expected people to keep their promises. In a quiet archive, even a small debt could become a heavy thing.

Ties to the victim

  • Mara Venn— Elias had taken a personal interest in Mara's well-being and tried to help her through a difficult period.

    Mara valued his support, though their relationship had become strained.

  • Julian Pike— Elias and Julian worked closely on the care and cataloguing of the museum's collection.

    Julian respected Elias's standards but sometimes felt his own work went unnoticed.

  • Tomas Reed— Elias relied on Tomas to keep the archive's equipment safe and working.

    Their working relationship carried respect, along with occasional frustration over priorities.
