Your Character
Kontos is the professor in charge of Your Character's attunement test. He discovers that you are not only attuned to the Sun, you are also attuned to another element. He tells Your Character that you are possibly one of the most powerful Attuned students to attend Penderghast. He is also Your Character's Nature Studies and Potions teacher. In Book 1, Chapter 19, if you've impressed him throughout the year, he tells you that you're his favorite student.

Dean Goeffe
Kontos came across her during a treacherous storm in the forest near the satyr community he lived in. Dean Goeffe had injured herself on a research expedition and he healed her leg in his home. Kontos was curious about the Attuned and she was eager to teach. She invited Kontos to visit the school and he enrolled in graduate studies. After obtaining his degree, he took up a teaching post at Penderghast.
