“Keep up the good work, sugar, and one day you just might come out of your shell!!”

Peepers is an old man that spends most of his days collecting money in the Akuda Bar - Where he holds a booth on the upper level and challenges anyone to a game of Three Coconut Monty.

In reality, he's a gatekeeper for the IRIS Network and is tasked to find potential recruits for the rebellion. He will only answer as an IRIS agent once the password is spoken. Due to his age, he doesn't go out on missions, remaining always at the Akuda Bar.

Profile

Mysterious and a bit of a smooth talker, Peepers rarely gets directly to the point. Whenever he speaks, it is often in riddles, which he doesn't expect people to understand or find an answer for. He even seems to take pleasure in teasing them since he often laughs after telling a riddle. He also smokes a pipe.

Though his age is never specified, it is obvious that Peepers is quite old. He spends his entire time at his booth in the Akuda Bar playing Three Coconut Monty. While at his booth, Peepers acts like he is completely blind. He moves his head around, unable to focus on a certain point, and even relies on smell to identify people who come to him. When Jade comes around, he identifies her as someone raising pigs by the ocean. However, it is soon revealed that he is, in fact, able to see to a degree, though that doesn't stop him from wearing his sunglasses indoors.

Quotes

• "Step right up, little lady. Come try your luck at Peepers."
• (identifying Jade by smell) "Mm... this light odor... You raise pigs by the ocean."
• "We're bound to meet up again, Missy. You've got the gift, hahaha!!"
• (about Jade's talent) "Hehe... You'd have to be blind not to see it!!"

Trivia

• The name "Peepers" (a colloquial term for 'eyes') is actually an alias, though Peepers' real name is never revealed.
• Peepers wears the icon of an eye around his neck, which could be symbolic of the IRIS organisation, his alias, and his role as guard/talent-scout.
• He is one of only two characters shown to be a smoker, the other being Rob.
