Biography
Before owning the costume shop, the Shopkeeper was a companion of Iris Wildthyme. During their travels together they encountered the sons of Uriel, visited the cave of Orc, attended the Toynbee convention, and had "an incident" with Faction Paradox. (PROSE: Wildthyme and the Wolf)

From Iris's perspective, his first meeting with her came in her Brenda Soobie incarnation, when she stumbled into his changing room through the mirror, having jumped through a mysterious window of the Flamingo Hotel in Las Vegas while being chased by the Tomdroid. Recognising her, the Shopkeeper told her and Panda to explore Samhain on their own while he kept an eye on the changing room in case the method he'd used to ensure the Tomdroid wouldn't follow them here failed.
