A long-tenured eccentric researcher in the basement of the Collegium of Ordered Aether. “YGOR is YGOR, who has been here for a long time.”
Appearance / vibes
- Wispy gray hair lost to neglect.
- Long stained leather apron over an academic robe, color-blotched over time.
- Unaligned eyes.
- Long fingers stained with… something. Tapping at unseen things.
- Each hand writes independently.
- Speaks in fragments. Hears voices.
His lab
- Body parts in jars. Circulatory system pinned on the wall. Bookshelves, tools, workboard.
- Smells: paper, wax, floral, preservatives — underlined with body odor.
- Notes everywhere: “do not disturb, wait do disturb, never mind.”
- “Come in, door is unlocked, lock is in a jar somewhere.”
Knows things
- About the Heart — recognized it on sight, tried to unbuckle Lorien’s breastplate without asking.
- About the Lockbox — six-sided and cursed.
- About the Weeping Lord (Ilmater) — said he may have use for Lorien later.
Quotes

In the campaign
- Encountered by Lorien in Session 34 after he got lost in the Collegium basement.
- Examined the Heart in Lorien’s chest. Touched it; remarked Lorien should be dead now. Took notes calling Lorien a specimen.
- Refused to let Lorien speak with Mistress Quill.
- Disappeared the moment Lorien opened the door to leave.
- Left a note for Lorien to come back soon.
