Zommoros is an Antiquary

Been thinkin' about Antiquary...

With no real evidence, I have ever-so-slightly convinced myself it could be based on Dougal Keane and the Guild Initiative.

HEAR ME OUT:

Thief in the trailer is wearing the Jungle Explorer's outfit (sans the hat, but hey, mix and match outfits maybe? :3c) Who else wears the Jungle Explorer's outfit? The Guild Initiative Representatives and Explorers:

Led by none other than the one and only, Dougal Keane from the Ghosts of Ascalon, who helped retrieve the Claw of the Khan-Ur from Ascalon City! According to his Wiki article as well: "It has been mentioned in video interviews that Dougal could be comparable to Indiana Jones." (Hat in the trailer, anyone?)

Also, some choice words from Dougal himself about finding lost artifacts 'n such:

Plus, the Tyrian Alliance meets in the Guild Initiative Headquarters in Lion's Arch! Why not let the Guild Initiative help out a bit since these specs are themed around Tyrian cooperation? :3c

That's it, haha! Stoked to eventually see what this spec' will be -- still no clue how it may play, but just thought this would be kind of a neat vibe but could be WAY off! Time will tell! o7

Chrese Evans, a 54-year old Buddhist antique shop owner from Portland, Oregon who is also Joseph Stalin's granddaughter. Of course she's a fan of Tank Girl.

From the Wikipedia entry on her father: In 1935, Peters married [Frank Lloyd] Wright's step-daughter, Svetlana Hinzenberg Wright (1917–1946), who had just turned eighteen years old. Together, Svetlana and Wes had two children:

Brandoch Peters (1941–2022), a cello prodigy who spent most of his adult life raising sheep. Daniel Peters (1944–1946), who died aged two in an automobile accident with his mother. Svetlana, who was pregnant with their third child, and their son Daniel died in an automobile accident in 1946, after which Peters raised their other son, Brandoch, though he spent most of his youth with the Wrights since Peters was travelling for work often.

Peters later briefly married Svetlana Alliluyeva (1926–2011),[10] the youngest child and only daughter of Joseph Stalin, in a union arranged by his former mother-in-law, Olgivanna Lloyd Wright. Before their marriage on April 12, 1970, Alliluyeva had defected from the Soviet Union, renounced her father's tyrannical rule and come to the United States in 1967. Before divorcing in 1973, the couple had one daughter:

Olga Peters (later known as Chrese Evans) (b. 1971).

On the 15th of April 1641 Sir Robert Sibbald, physician and geographer was born.

His mother was Margaret Boyd, eldest daughter of Robert Boyd of Kipps, Linlithgowshire and it was to there they fled when Robert was still a bairn, escaping an outbreak of the plague in the Capital.

In his autobiography, Sibbald describes his mother as: 'a virtuous and pious matron of great sagacity and firmness of mind and very careful of my education'. She died at Kipps, leaving the estate to Robert.

Following a theological course in Edinburgh, Sibbald studied medicine in Leyden and Paris, and from Angiers he obtained his licence to practise medicine.

His first appointment was as Geographer Royal for Scotland to Charles II, and he was knighted at Holyrood Palace in 1682. In 1685 he was appointed the first Professor of Medicine (without salary) to Edinburgh University.

He established the first botanical and physic garden in the yards of Holyrood Abbey for instructing students in botany and supplying apothecaries with vegetable "materia medica."
