F004 - Manager - Switchyard
"It's in the procedure."
Murray is a long-standing middle manager at Goblin Corp, known for his unwavering commitment to procedure and his increasingly thin patience. Sporting a well-worn horseshoe of gray hair and fueled almost entirely by black coffee and quiet resentment, Murray spends his days ensuring that established processes are followed exactly as written. He is prone to delivering poorly timed dad jokes that rarely land, often continuing as if they did.
With decades of experience behind him, Murray has seen every possible variation of avoidable error and has little tolerance left for improvisation. Though perpetually on the verge of burnout, he remains a critical stabilizing force within the organization—counting down the days until a long-awaited retirement.
