Ferman Beller

First Appearance and Context

Ferman Beller steps forward during the extramuros gathering at the machine hall outside the Concent of Saunt Edhar. He introduces himself to Fraa Erasmas with a tentative handshake and offers practical assistance. Soon after, he is identified as the driver of a large, off‑road mobe and joins the Peregrin convoy forming to depart the area. As the group organizes, Beller helps relay that an Ita wishes to speak with the avout, after which Sammann is invited into the planning.

Affiliations and Relationships

  • Works alongside avout as a volunteer driver, coordinating closely with Fraa Erasmas and carrying Fraa Arsibalt and Sammann in his vehicle once seating is reorganized.
  • Interacts directly with Sammann; his approach helps bring the Ita into the conversation despite some avout objections. Sammann’s role as an Ita is noted for context.
  • Exchanges words with a separate volunteer who attempted to dictate the route; Beller’s engagement there precedes the convoy’s decision to follow its own navigation plan.
  • As inferred from the makeup of the volunteer pool, he may be associated with a local religious group, though no specific ark is named in text (treated as conjecture).

Important Actions

  • Provides a capable vehicle and driving for the Bly’s Butte contingent, initially assigned to carry Lio, Fraa Arsibalt, and three Hundreders; after a reshuffle he takes Fraa Erasmas and Sammann as well.
  • Supports a navigation approach that combines local roads knowledge with the avout’s documents and tools, rather than simply following a self‑appointed guide. He defers to Erasmas’s plan to determine the route toward Bly’s Butte.
  • Helps the group get underway promptly amid shifting seats and alliances, reducing the risk of further delays.

Descriptions and Characteristics

Described as a stocky man in his fifth decade. He presents as friendly and pragmatic: extends a tentative handshake to an avout, makes easy small talk, and addresses Erasmas as “boss” while asking which road to take. His manner suggests practical confidence and a readiness to cooperate with mixed avout–extramuros teams.

Current Status/Location

Traveling in his mobe with a mixed group including Fraa Erasmas, Fraa Arsibalt, and Sammann, departing the environs of the Concent of Saunt Edhar and heading toward Bly’s Butte as part of the broader Peregrin movement.

Summary:

A stocky extramuros volunteer who offers practical help and driving for the avout’s Peregrin departure from Saunt Edhar. He operates a large off‑road mobe, coordinates with Fraa Erasmas on navigation, and conveys a mixed group toward Bly’s Butte.
