But since Caretakers change with each move of the Warehouse, that implies that those with the ability have to exist beforehand. We've also noted in our Warehouse history that, while some Warehouses only had one Caretaker, others had two or three (not counting Warehouse 2, which was before the immortality offered by the Tree of Idun, preventing a long-lasting Caretaker). We know that Warehouse 9, at least based on the show, went for a short time without a Caretaker. But the Regents were also torn between actively searching for a new Caretaker and waiting for a new one to appear.

As a side note, we know the Warehouse has to have a Caretaker. I sort-of explained the Warehouse's reaction after Flavia's death, how it reacted. My question is, what would happen if the Warehouse was without a Caretaker for more than, say, a few months? Do you think the Warehouse might destroy itself with Artifact Disturbances if left alone?
