Igor has plays the role of Proprietor of the mysterious Velvet Room, a space which transcends both dream and reality. As the Proprietor, Igor provides insight to Makoto regarding his powers, emotional bonds, and possible dangers that await them in their journey. Despite his rather striking appearance, Igor bears a calm and courteous demeanor while speaking with Makoto. Though the well-being of Makoto is important to him, he reserves the disclosure of certain information for more "timely" points in the story. During conversations concerning Makoto’s actions, Igor opts for rather cryptic comments that tend to foreshadow coming events and possibly the outcome of the story as a whole, regardless of whether or not those comments are at the time understood (which may be his intent). This suggests that Igor may have near-omniscience, though by his own admission, there are things that even he can't foresee. He is also accompanied by his assistant Elizabeth.
