Shopkeep

The shopkeep is a character from RWBY who is the owner of the Dust shop From Dust Till Dawn. He first appears in Ruby Rose when his dust shop is robbed by Roman Torchwick and several goons. So far, with the exception of The Stray, his appearances involve him being robbed or his property being severely damaged.

Appearance
He is an elderly and gray-haired, balding man with wrinkles under his eyes and over his brow. Typically, he wears a green shirt with a red apron and gray pants. Being older, he appears to have trouble moving around and moves sluggishly, occasionally being hunched over. His eyes always seem to be closed.

Personality
In his first appearance, the shopkeep shows little interest in conflict. He is timid when Torchwick and his men arrive, offering to let them take his money if they just leave. The man is very helpful, apparently taking part in preparations for the Vytal Festival and freely offering Emerald directions to Tukson's Book Trade.

It also means he is easily taken advantage of as evidenced when Emerald pick-pockted him despite his help. Given that he is seen driving an armored car for his Dust shop, the shopkeep can be assumed to be highly active and dedicated to his work despite his age.
