Main Character
He is one of your character's love interests. You first meet him when you visit Epoch in Chapter 15. You can choose to kiss his hand or shake it. He later tells you that the attack on Matara was caused by the Void and shows you how the astradust was formed in the Library of Souls. In Chapter 22, he attacks your mind psychically. You have the (default) choice to give in to the pain or (premium choice) to fight back psychically. If you give in to the pain, he sees Holmes and Zaniah and psychically kills them before fleeing. If you fight back, you instead "explode his mind" psychically and Zaniah stabs him in the neck, killing him.

Quandry
Quandry is his leader.
