Bridgekeeper
The term "Bridgekeeper" often refers to a character from the comedy film "Monty Python and the Holy Grail." In the film, the Bridgekeeper is responsible for guarding a bridge and poses riddles to those who wish to cross. If a traveler answers incorrectly, they are thrown into the chasm below.
In a broader context, a bridgekeeper can symbolize any authority figure who sets conditions or challenges that must be met to gain access to something valuable or important. This concept can be found in various myths and stories, where guardians test the worthiness of those seeking passage or knowledge.
