A scarred former eleventh-floor crawler whose Valtay-controlled body helps Carl turn the panel into tactical reconnaissance.
Drick began as an iguanoid and became a moon elf during a Valtay season roughly four hundred seasons ago. He fought with a plasma saw, tapped out at the end of the eleventh floor, and later died in a waystation bar fight; a Valtay worm now controls his preserved body.
He recognizes Carl can overhear the pre-panel discussion and predicts chaos will favor Carl if he attacks immediately. During the panel he laughs at Carl's disruption, quietly manages Sydnee, and confirms the presence of multiple mantis hunters when Carl begins gathering intelligence.
An elderly but muscular bald albino moon elf covered in heavy scars and wearing a silk shirt.
Drick is an experienced crawler perspective who deliberately seeds useful information within Carl's hearing.
