||
### Background:
|
||
|
||
- **Origin:** Lower-class Voxiu family; rose by dint of being “least offensive” to all parties.

|
||
- **Current Occupation:** Senior Archivist Administrator of the Obsidian Archives.

||
### Associations:
|
||
|
||
- **Allegiances & Factions:** Nominally neutral, but dances between **[[Vexen Overview|Vexens]]** (funding his staff) and **[[Belter Overview|Belters]]** (to placate workers).
|
||
- **Allies & Friends:** A handful of junior scribes — especially those he can manipulate.
|
||
- **Rivals & Enemies:** Loud debaters like [[Yanna Blackreed - Obsidian Archives|Yanna Blackreed]], who call him corrupt, threaten his facade.
|
||
- **Contacts & Networks:** Discreet ties to **Benton Brothers Banking**.

### Notes & Flavor
|
||
|
||
- Will _never_ outright lie; he omits and dodges instead.
|
||
- Smokes a crooked pipe; ashes often spill across manuscripts. |
