Uncle Roe

Ernest Roe (Uncle Roe to most, according to him) is a person found in Canterbury Commons. Upon entering Canterbury Commons for the first time you will witness a scuffle between The AntAgonizer and The Mechanist. He will reveal some brief history of his town and the constant menace fighting between the two. After further questioning he will offer the The Superhuman Gambit quest, in which the player will have to settle the disagreements between the AntAgonizer and the Mechanist.

Ernest Roe also offers dialogue options regarding organization of the Caravan Merchants. He presents the player with a map showing the paths and stop locations that the Caravan Merchants follow.
