Sammann

First Appearance and Context

During an Apert day, activity around the concent’s workshops and clockworks brings Sammann’s name into view. In Cord’s large industrial machine hall near the river, an Ita client collects an intricately machined component. Later, while viewing the clockwork above the Mynster, Cord remarks that the bone‑like levers there remind her of the part she made for “Sammann” that morning. The text does not explicitly identify the Ita customer by name, but Cord’s comment establishes Sammann as the named recipient of a freshly made component on that day.

Roles/Actions and Affiliations

Sammann is associated with the Ita, who handle practical, technical subsystems at the concent. From Cord’s remark, Sammann is linked to receiving custom‑machined parts whose shapes resemble elements of the great clock’s mechanisms. The narrative does not specify his exact office or duties beyond this connection.

Relationships

• Cord: She fabricates precision parts and explicitly mentions having made a component for Sammann that morning. Her comparison of the part to the Mynster’s “bone‑like” levers provides the clearest in‑text clue to the kind of work Sammann is involved in.

Descriptions/Characteristics

No direct personal description is given for Sammann. An Ita client present in the machine hall earlier that day is depicted in typical Ita attire and departs with a machined piece; the text does not explicitly confirm that this individual is Sammann, though the timing suggests a connection.

Current Status/Location

Active during the present Apert in and around the concent; further details about Sammann’s current assignment or whereabouts are not provided in the text.
