The recent chat between Mr. Pages, Mr. Wines, and the Gracious Widow included several intriguing tidbits of information. The following exchange particularly intrigued me:
Mr. Pages: "Who is the longest-lived person that you know of? Are they alive today? If not, who is the longest-lived still among us?"
Mr. Wines: "But if we're discussing men, we would look to brass buttons and green masks. We most certainly would."
Brass buttons seems a clear reference to the Manager of the Royal Beth, which makes a great deal of sense considering what we know of his history. I've been wracking my brain trying to think of anyone I've encountered with a green mask, though, and am drawing a blank. Does anyone know to whom Mr. Wines might be referring?

I've been wondering this myself. Who habitually wears a mask? Poor Edward, but his is red. The Masked Clay Man, who is certainly an enigma. Then it struck me - the Capering Relicker wears a wooden mask, adorned with horns and covered with moss like a pagan deity. He seems quite indecently ancient, and he seems to have some conflict running with the Widow over the peaches. I think he's our man.

Check out the capering relicker. Failure at trading a small collection of scraps, and success at recertifying an armful of scraps reference their mossy mask. And successfully recertifying a double-armload has something relevant... and take a note at the "something special" as well...
