The staff is comprised of an ancient alien race of robots. They are paid in girl scout cookies. The only requirement is that you can speak Fur'dälish (their language), oh, and you must kill a three headed dragon.

Seriously, they're just extraordinary people with a common purpose. Give them thanks!
