Jobel

arrogant status-obsessed manipulative bureaucratically cruel opportunistic
Jobel serves as the Chief Embalmer at Tranquil Repose on Necros, where he oversees the ritual preparation of elite corpses for Davros' resurrection schemes. His brittle pride hinges on maintaining the funeral home’s sterile facade, masking deep insecurity about impropriety and the decomposing reality beneath. Beneath his veneer of professionalism lies calculated cruelty—he wields bureaucratic threats to enforce compliance, using phrases like 'scrubbing with a toothbrush' to underscore his authoritarian control. His interactions reveal a petty, status-obsessed manager more concerned with appearances than morality, willing to subordinate himself entirely to Davros’s rising tyranny.
