Astronomer at Al-Hakim University — studies using the stars to navigate over long distances. Has a telescope.
What We Know
- Gave the party an overview of proto-sextant navigation — potentially useful at sea. (S3)
- Something about his studies made Gnaeus connect them to The Recovered Documents; some document diagrams resemble his stellar diagrams. (S3)
- Said that leylines are, at their source, of old elvish origin. (S3)
- Library check: his “revolutionary” devices have precedent — House Mennenius (House Menenia) used similar ones in the Old Empire. He oversold his originality. (S3)
Speculation
He’s either an honest scholar who rediscovered old techniques, or someone repackaging knowledge from a source he won’t name. Given how central star-position-over-leyline math now looks to The Sanctum Investigation, which one matters.
