The Caretaker
The Caretaker is a Silksong NPC who shelters refugee bugs in Songclave and gives the Act 3-gating Silk and Soul wish.
The Caretaker runs a refuge for displaced bugs in Songclave within the Choral Chambers, handing out the "Songclave Supplies" wish and, crucially, the Act-3-gating Silk and Soul chain. In Act 3 the Caretaker departs for the Ruined Chapel and passes the role to Sherma. The Caretaker is a quest-giver, not a merchant, so you come here for objectives rather than goods. Songclave's fate is closely tied to this character.
