Talk:Shopkeep/@comment-25555436-20150119220455

Plot Twist: This guy is a member of the XCOM Council from Breach, and he only pretends to be a shopkeep so no one knows about him, so he can be more safe, and also to examine the citizens in a more up-front manner.

Where does he get enough money to repair his shop, and even build a new one, despite being robbed twice? Well, from the Council's budget of course.

Why does he leave his shop open so late at night despite the obvious dangers? Because he can always call the elite XCOM Squad to deal with anyone that may hurt him, then make sure that person never remembers what happened.

Why didn't he call them in ep1 when robbed by Roman? He was about to, but then he saw Ruby kick the guy out of the window and KO everyone.

If he's "examining up-front" the citizens, why doesn't he do anything to solve the problems in the city, like the WF or the supposed Faunus Discrimination? Well, remember RWBY's XCOM Council is about as smart as Mass Effect's. (Oh yes, "the discrimination against the Faunus". We have dismissed that claim).
