Taskmaster

Taskmasters are the bureaucratic masterminds of the Drudges. They have, for time immemorial, been in charge of the flow of souls from each world to the next, and they have made a great deal of profit off of their services. The Taskmasters deal in wax, which is used to keep the candles of the Drudges burning - but in order to meet the demands of their Taskmasters the Drudges must burn their candles at both ends, creating an eternal cycle of dependence.
