Old Kohler first appears in Volume 2 as a weathered dock guide whose grizzled silhouette—thick jacket, unlit cigarette, and trembling hands—marks him as a fixture of the working-class districts. Across the series, this seemingly minor NPC evolves from a simple local guide into a recurring symbol of the industrial underbelly, his presence underscoring the harsh realities faced by ordinary citizens caught in the machinations of higher powers. His gradual aging and persistent ailments serve as a quiet counterpoint to the grand supernatural events unfolding around him, grounding the narrative in the struggles of the common man.

Description

Kohler is an elderly man with graying temples and greasy gray hair, sporting an evident beard. He consistently wears the same thick jacket and carries a wrinkled cigarette that he holds but doesn't smoke. His appearance suggests a working man comfortable in the factory districts, with a phlegm-filled throat that marks his age and occupation.
