He lacks the traditional servants most Hours have, forsaking the use of Long and Names altogether. He is a greedy Hour, with no desire to share, and this consolidation of his power and essence helps keep him alive in a House very hostile towards him. He does number many mortals among his servants, however, they are more like slaves. He strips them of their will and personality and embeds commands within their minds, normally whatever construction function they are supposed to be preforming. The best workers are those who give their minds willingly, and so the World-Carver attempts to wheedle and trick them into Faustian bargains. While he does make the typical 'soul upon death' bargains, a corpse is of no use to him and disruption in the flow of souls can end up bringing unwanted attention on him. He does his best to obtain a mortal while they are still alive and, hopefully, in their physical prime. Once obtained, they are put to work chiseling out new tunnels and similar constructions, working ceaselessly until their bodies eventually fail and they perish. The World-Carver is also able to take control of a mind directly a,d and influence and manipulate them, but that ends up being more hands on then others, which he does not prefer.
