A butler serving the Vykfeldt family, now in his tenth year. Trained not to show a surprised face.
- His hand is on the doorknob before he hears the visitor's business. Measures tea steeping time by his pulse, not an hourglass.
- Left the mining town at fourteen, entering service through menial work. His first three years were spent polishing only shoes.
- Responds with perfect courtesy even to guests who look down on servants based on status, but never again serves their tea at the correct temperature.
