Excerpt of agent report: “There is a market of ideas, both impulsive and repressed, and the Curator is in search of the best product--as well as the skillful hands, mouths, and brains which make them.”
Mike Truk aka The Curator is both a souvenir shop vendor in Blough City and an eldritch entity. His favourite ice cream is a white swirl.
As the Curator, he is described as malevolent more than malicious (passive rather than active in his evil/harm). He moves/operates in similar circles to Mr Lee L Bee, in that they both deal in moving black market items between Bluff and Blough, except that Mike is someone who takes things rather than trading them as Mr Lee L Bee would do. He is from neither Bluff or Blough City but rather from “some weird place in-between”, possibly Hell.
He currently lives in the Thicket in a house which he appears to be finishing one room at a time. He drives a rusty orange coloured farm-style pickup truck.
Mike had contact with Agent Heard on Heard's previous missions in Blough City, as Heard often bought his disguises from Mike's shop. After the events of "Messy Business", Mike followed Heard, Hector Hu, and Maggie Darcy to Bluffington. He was killed by Maggie Darcy via makeshift flamethrower.
