Zeke travels around the Carnival in Withergate with Darius. He keeps an eye on the carnival and maintains order if necessary. He talks a lot about martial arts, and is always ready to intervene if a fight breaks out.
Zeke has blonde spiky hair and wears a black Gi with a red belt, which likely means he is well-versed in martial arts. In most disciplines of martial arts, a red belt is equivalent to or higher than a black belt.
This NPC is not involved in any quests or collections.

Hey, I've been watching you! That's right! Every time you chat me up, every time you run through the carnival. I haven't been oblivious. You're strong. Real strong. Which means you're worth my time! Let's be friends. Someday we can meet in a fight, and we'll see who is stronger. I'm not slowing down my training, [Player]. Are you? Let's see it, friend!

Conversations
Cycle 1
:
Didn't we meet already? It's hard to keep track of all the faces here.
Player:
Do you like living in Withergate?
:
The folk in this town are worth their salt, that's for certain. I'm a martial artist, so I know how to spot people with potential. I love being surrounded by that energy, like anyone around might start a fight.
Player:
So you're hoping for a fight?
:
That's not quite what I mean. I don't want to get into any trouble. That's not the way of the martial artist. Still, knowing that there are some people here whose strength rivals my own - now that is thrilling.
Player:
You sound like a violent person.
:
I guess that's true, but I'm not trying to start any trouble or anything. I'm here in case trouble breaks out. Still, it's exciting to know that there are people here whose strength rivals my own.
Player:
What do you do here?
:
I do work around the carnival. It's nothing exciting, just keeping people in order for the most part. I like it because it comes with a lot of down time. That's why I practice my martial arts.
Player:
You're keeping order here? That explains a lot... -1 Points
:
Excuse me?? Wait... forget it. You're not worth my time.
Player:
To keep people in line takes a strong will. +2 Points
:
Hm? You almost sound like a martial artist, speaking like that! I'm starting to like you, [Player].
