"Dear passenger, please take your seat." A non-human who transports the dead via train. Loves his job. Gets incredibly angry if his work is interrupted. In a Trolley Problem scenario, he would run everyone over just to stay on schedule and get them on the train. Calls the dead 'customers' but treats them carelessly. For some reason, he appears in dreams and various other places. Capable of physical violence. Occasionally, a passenger who is barely clinging to life arrives; since he can only transport the dead, he panics and kills them to make them 'eligible.' He isn't actually interested in the dead; he prefers the living because they look warm, soft, and delicious. Lacks a moral compass. Knowledgeable but vain and a sore loser. Often makes crude jokes without embarrassment. Gets carried away when praised. Loud and noisy. Doesn't really grasp human gender, so he often misgenders people. Walks fast and never adjusts his pace for others. Cannot walk backward. Dotes on Itekno and treats him like a child. The train is automated; if Gourmet tries to drive, the shaking is violent. Lives on the train.
