Reported to be Dramm's, beside the Bloodbound Cipher. His list is the tightest of the seven — Fire, Ashes, Anvil, Furnace — easy to check on sight.
Short answer
One creator guide puts the Nameless Cipher with Dramm, the blacksmith, alongside the Bloodbound Cipher. The name itself is in no vocabulary, so the pairing is a single unconfirmed report. What makes this one practical anyway is that Dramm has the tightest word list in the game — Fire, Ashes, Brimstone, Smoke, Anvil, Furnace — so you can tell at a glance whether your copy is genuinely his rather than having to consult a table.
How you get it
From the loot table during a run — locked chests, purple-marked enemies and unidentified items. No launch-mail copy of this cipher has been announced.
The bonus is matched on the word your cipher carries, not on which cipher it is — so the right NPC differs between two players holding the same one. Type what is printed on yours.

Where are the words?
Open the cipher in camp or in your bag. It prints two clue words. 47 words are mapped across the seven camp NPCs below, and handing a cipher to the wrong one still pays the base result — the only thing at stake is the bonus.
A grade describes sourcing, not truth. An unverified row is not one we think is wrong — it is one nobody has stood behind.

§01
What supports this pairing, and what does not
Dramm is reported to hold two named ciphers, Bloodbound and Nameless, and both come from the same card. Neither name appears in any vocabulary, so both are reports without corroboration. The saving grace is legibility: every word on Dramm's card belongs to a forge and nothing else, which makes his the one desk you can confirm or rule out without a lookup. Six words, one theme, no overlap with anyone else.
Dramm is the blacksmith: Fire, Ashes, Brimstone, Smoke, Anvil, Furnace.
The Bloodbound Cipher is reported to the same desk and has a page of its own.
This is the tightest of the seven vocabularies and the easiest to recognise on sight.
§02
The word on your copy is the address
Bellring states that the bonus follows the word clues on the individual cipher. With a name that corroborates nothing, that is doubly true here. The advantage is that the check is fast: if your copy prints something from a forge, Dramm is right; if it prints a cargo word, a travel word or an alchemy word, it belongs to someone else and the report does not apply to your copy.
The decoder takes both words in any order and shows which word produced the name.
Level 5 unlocks Decipher on all seven camp NPCs.
A wrong delivery still pays the base amount; only the bonus is lost.
§03
No reward table exists for it
Nothing has been published about what a Nameless Cipher pays. The four-decimal odds in circulation belong to the Golden Cipher's event table, and the correct-match bonus is described by press sources only as having a high chance of Epic rarity.
§04
Where they come from, and keeping yours
Ciphers drop from locked chests, marked enemies and unidentified items during ordinary runs — replaceable, and lootable off your corpse if you leave one in the wrong bag.
Locked chests, which are the most reliable placed source.
Marked enemies — the ones carrying a purple brand — and the containers they guard.
Unidentified items: every one of them has a chance to resolve into a cipher.

Nameless Cipher FAQ
One creator guide reports Dramm, the blacksmith. Read the word on your copy to check: his list is Fire, Ashes, Brimstone, Smoke, Anvil and Furnace, and it is the most distinctive of the seven, so confirming or ruling him out takes a glance.
