He was one of the Z.M.I. initiates charged with casting teleportation spells until they happened to fail and end up in the Abyss again. He was the first to do so, and his superiors kept him there so he could hold a portal spell open so other mages could go to the Abyss through it. If talked to, he will offer a dire set of consequences if he fails in this task (including head explosion, if lucky, or universe explosion, if not-so-lucky).
