Your Character
You and Atlas meet him for the first time in Book 2, Chapter 1. He does a moon spell on both of you, and if you practiced your prescience, he is impressed by your powers. You meet him again in Chapter 5 before the Thief match with Atlas, and ask him if he knows anything about Gemma. He tells you that Gemma was nice and fascinated with magick, despite her powers being immense and unnatural; He didn't ask however, because he sensed that there was something more going on, since there were multiple foreign energies around her that were ancient, inhuman and fracturing.

In Chapter 11 when you show him Kane's riddle, and he tells you that the riddle might have to do with the Blood-Att classroom. He refuses to tell you its location though, because it is dangerous.
