hm.— shrewdLibrarian
ShrewdLibrarian, also known as Gary, is Holoville’s librarian. He is one of the four main characters of the myth, and the most significant in the lore. He is also known as millerGary27, or Gary Miller, in the real world.
Biography
Not much is known about the origins of the residents of Holoville. What is known is that Gary owns the library in Holoville. He's known as the introvert of the town, often keeping to himself, buried in a book. In August of 2020, Gary and the others hosted a book fair sponsored by his library. This ended in disaster, however, as lightning struck the site of the fair, catching it on fire. Though nobody was injured, it served as one of the first significant events in Holoville history, leaving a permanent mark on the ground in front of the library.
Inside his quaint library houses a broken computer, which upon being activated, serves as the key to the reality of Holoville and its existence. In truth, Gary serves as the main character of Holoville's lore, as the player slowly uncovers the truth of the town and its residents. The other three characters of Holoville serve as Gary's interpretations of his acquaintances in reality, and throughout his experience in Holoville, he catches glimpses of his real life leaking into the world around him. Upon waking up, Gary realizes he had been dreaming all along, but is incentivized to socialize more with those he was associated with in the dream.
Before the events of Holoville, real-world Gary lived in a trailer of an unknown town. It's heavily suggested that Gary was an outcast throughout his life, his anxiety preventing him from opening up to others. He later found a job at a library in the city of Brooklyn, New York, and moved into an apartment complex managed by Larry, in search of a better home that was closer to his workplace.
History
Along with the other Holovillians, Gary joined in January of 2020. He made accounts on Twitter and Discord during the same month. Initially, he seldom spoke compared to the other characters, but had opened up more as Holoville rose in popularity. As of recent, he has been the least active of the four residents.
On October 10th of 2020, the account for his character before holoville's story was created. This account, millerGary27, created the group Ignite, where the rest of the future holovillians are found.
