DMS Personnel Office

The Department of Magical Sanitation Personnel Office was an office in the West Block of Hago, located in the Old Squire's Courthouse Building. Until its closing, it was responsible for coordinating contracts between the DMS and both magical and manual sanitation workers. The office worked closely with the Sanitation Worker's Union, and was rumored to have arrangements with several less legitimate organizations in the area, including the Blackbloods.

Staff
Hobara Hammerhand (manager) - Hobara, an unusually calculating and aloof dwarf, was the manager of the DMS Personnel Office for many years. Although there have many rumors about his involvement in local criminal organizations, none of them have been substantiated.

Robby Hob (secretary) - Robby, a halfling, was Hobara's personal assistant and secretary.

Jeremy Arma (head clerk) - Jeremy, a human, was head clerk of the DMS Personnel Office until its closing. He was responsible for day-to-day management and supervision of the other three clerks in the office, who were usually hired on a seasonal basis.

Clerks - Clerks at the DMS Personnel Office were usually hired for 6-month stints. This position was widely regarded as a good entry-level position in government and management, and several elected officials in Hago have served as DMS Personnel Clerks and as a result had cordial professional relationships with Hobara prior to his disappearance.

Closing
One Monday, approximately a year ago, the DMS Dispatch Office began receiving complaints that the Personnel Office had not opened that morning. A dispatch clerk sent to the office found it closed, and couriers sent to the staff's homes found Hobara, Robby, and Jeremy missing. The seasonal clerks were found, and said that they had not come to the office that morning because their contract had ended on Friday. None of them had any information regarding the disappearance of the staff.

A formal investigation was launched by the Hago Security Department, during which the Personnel Office remained closed and the Dispatch Office became responsible for managing contracts. While there were leads tying the disappearance of the staff to members of the Blackbloods, the Sanitation Worker's Union, and a robbery in The Shore that occurred the weekend the staff went missing, nothing substantial was ever uncovered. The investigation trailed off, and restaffing and opening the office was never made a priority. As such, it has remained closed since. The Courthouse Building is still boarded and roped off as a Security Department investigation site, and the Dispatch Office has assumed the extra workload with ease - leading to rumors that Hobara had been inflating the apparent workload of the office to appropriate extra funds from the DMS.
