BIOGRAPHY

RELATIONS

an oklahoma oil-rigger and genius with an IQ of 190. an autodidact, he has extensive knowledge of ancient and modern history, world cultures, art and architecture (including the relevant sciences). he speaks 9 languages and can read more than a dozen more. he taught himself to read greek at night, presumably as a child. he has honorary degrees at universities on four continents. he is "the first one they call when they discover a new piece of art and the one they're afraid to call because I'm the best in the world at discovering a fake." for 20 years he has written scholarly works using pseudonyms representing 7 carefully constructed identities. he was invited to interview for the position of the librarian 10 years ago (when Ffynn was successful), but did not respond to the invitation because he felt obligated to help keep his family's oil-drilling business afloat. he was a "librarian-in-training", working alongside ezekiel jones and cassandra cillian, until being promoted at the end of "and the loom of fate".
