The waterlogged master of a drowned library, still cataloging the names of the living as future acquisitions. It greets visitors by asking their names, then writes each one into a ledger that bleeds black water. Once you are in the book, the floor itself turns to drowning ink, and the Archivist simply waits for the page to fill.

Special Defense
Archive Binding: allied undead within 30 ft gain +1 to saves. Immune to poison, disease, and drowning; vulnerable to radiant/fire. Senses: Night Vision (60 ft), Living Sense (feels the living, 60 ft).
