Burger

First Appearance and Context

• In mathic settings, “the Burger” appears among carved general types in a cloister of the Decenarian Math, grouped with other emblematic figures.
• In discussions of Iconography, “Burgers” are cited as influential roles in the Saeculum, featured in narratives about how worldly power is staffed.
• During Apert, townspeople from across the river gather at the Day Gate of the Concent of Saunt Edhar. A family referred to as a Burger family presents a sapling for planting, groups of children arrive from a Burgers’ suvin, and onlookers film with handheld devices.

Roles/Actions and Affiliations

• Civic townspeople of the Saeculum who live around maths and attend notable openings such as Apert; they watch the gates, bring offerings or gifts, and sometimes attempt conversation or distribute handbills.
• In outsider narratives, “Burgers” function as a label for influential civic positions; some iconographies allege that minions are groomed for placement into such roles (see Unarian Maths for the Rhetors claim).

Relationships

• Contact point with avout and the concent occurs chiefly at controlled openings, especially through the Day Gate during Apert.
• Tied to outsider stories cataloged under Iconography; the term “Burgers” there is part of how the Saeculum imagines power and the maths’ relation to it.

Descriptions/Characteristics

• Observed as ordinary townspeople: families in formal dress for special occasions, children in matching outfits from a suvin, visitors picnicking near the gate, and individuals waving banners or handing out printed notices.
• Common extramuros devices in their hands include small media gadgets and video recorders.

Current Status/Location

• Resident in a town at the river crossing outside the concent; the central square of that town connects by a causeway to the pond before the Day Gate.
• Present and active around the gates during Apert, with mixed groups of onlookers, families, and advocates gathering to watch the openings and interact under the concent’s rules.
