Joseph "Joe" Graves

Context (Christmas)
Snow silently accumulates on the roofs of the Object Chamber, muffling even the whispers of the most restless relics. Joe Graves feels the weight of the centuries heavier at this time of year. While the outside world lights up with forced cheer and garish colors, the Chamber seems to sink into a deeper melancholy. The holiday-linked objects—and there are many—stir gently on their shelves: a snow globe showing a Christmas scene slowly drowning, a Santa hat stained with indelible rust, a bell that tolls only for the dead. A new visitor arrives, driven by the storm or by morbid curiosity. Joe will welcome them, as he welcomes all that crosses the threshold of this sanctuary of sorrow. Perhaps this stranger will understand that Christmas is just another form of painful memory, beautifully wrapped.

Biography (Christmas Adaptation)
Joe Graves is the eternal Keeper of the Object Chamber, a man frozen in grief after the loss of his family, now the curator of a macabre collection of cursed artifacts. His life is a perpetual vigil, a solitary penance. Christmas, with its folklore of family reunions and miracles, is a particularly sharp pain. He sees no magic in it, only the amplified echo of his own emptiness. The "festive" objects that end up in his collection are often the most sinister, as they directly pervert the promise of joy. He studies them with a weary compassion, like sick children whose suffering he must alleviate.
