Description
A talented engineer. Beneath the mask of the enlightened man he is the intended recipient of the stolen Host and the name the great gnome counselor gave as the target of the hunt: the sol níger (black sun) of reason.
In the descents of the Nevermind he reappears as the scribe of shadows, a Moorish secretary with a long quill who records the “aggressive negotiations”, casts fireballs from the tip of his quill, and betrays those he accompanies.
Identity
Krisina and Montbron identify him with the Great Caller who stole the Host on the Nevermind, and thereby with the master Caníbal / Gannibal (Ganibal): Peter the Great’s Moor would be the same who plays the poker and steals the offering — ally and villain in one face.
