I can't find any threads dedicated to these fascinating individuals, so I thought I'd start one!  What do we know about them? What are the theories? And what's up with the rats?
Who is your favourite?
I'm sure these characters are more important than they seem, and I'm going to guess that they might play a part in the endgame. They seem to have a lot of access to some very rare things.

Got to share the general admiration of the Capering Relicker. He's such an interesting fellow!
[spoiler]There are various hints that he's a member of the First City priest-nobility, and a relative or companion of the Manager/Merry Gentleman. I don't know why he trades in infernal artefacts, but it certainly suggests an interesting backstory - he seems to get up the nose of the devils, the Masters and the Widow, all at once.[/spoiler]
The other Relickers, we don't learn so much about. Was the Coquettish the first implemented, or just the first I met? I'd like to learn more about the Shivering, too.

I don't know what order the relicker cards were implemented in, but in The Master's Voice your First City Coins are delivered by "a sniggering woman in a painted mask," and that's been there a while. That certainly sounds like the Coquettish Relicker, and the coins are from Mr Mirrors, who we know employs the relickers.

Is there a way to make this thread a poll to vote for one's favorite Relicker? Mine's the Capering one.
Speaking of the Capering Relicker:
[spoiler]If I were to speculate, I would say that the CR was one of Hell's Aristocracy before it went all anarchic, which would explain how he got what he gives you. Also, since Gulliver explicitly states that the CR isn't a devil because he gives away souls, maybe the devils we see now were the lower/servant class before the revolution? Also also, maybe devils require souls for sustenance in some manner?
