Sammann

First Appearance and Context

Sammann is introduced as an Ita technician tied to rooftop instruments at the concent, first seen via observations of maintenance on the Pinnacle’s optics and by an extramuros machinist’s note that she had made a precision part for him. He later appears at a gathering in a machine hall outside the walls as Evoked avout organize travel connected to a Convox, having been sent for to assist.

Affiliations and Relationships

  • Member of the Ita; recognizable by role and attire.
  • Acts on direction from Fraa Spelikon during a sensitive retrieval linked to rooftop observations.
  • Works in proximity to Fraa Orolo’s observational efforts and interacts directly with Fraa Erasmas when the latter convenes a travel meeting and invites him to join the convoy.
  • Some avout object to close association with an Ita; others accept his participation for practical reasons during Peregrin.

Important Actions

  • Rooftop maintenance: cleans and services the optics at the starhenge, including routine checks and handling of tablet access; on bright days he has been observed wearing heavy protective goggles to look toward the sun. He has also been seen transporting a second tablet concealed in a dust jacket.
  • Tablet retrieval and disclosure: following specific instruction from Fraa Spelikon, Sammann retrieved a photomnemonic tablet from the Telescope of Saunts Mithra and Mylax. Because no information‑security instruction accompanied the order (as stated by Sammann), he made a personal copy before handing the tablet over and later displayed the image to avout planning their travel.
  • Travel role: joins a Peregrin convoy organized by Fraa Erasmas. After initial seat assignments are reshuffled, he rides with the navigators and helps set course toward a first destination outside the concent.

Descriptions and Characteristics

  • Seen wearing a tall black stovepipe hat and dark clothing consistent with Ita garb; speaks Orth correctly with a distinct accent.
  • Methodical and procedural in handling devices and data; explicitly cites the absence of an information‑security order when explaining why he kept a copy of a retrieved image (presented as his stated reasoning).

Current Status/Location

Extramuros with an avout group under a Convox, traveling in a small convoy as part of Peregrin. He is seated with the navigating contingent and bound first for a nearby landmark before continuing onward per the group’s plan.

Summary:

An Ita technician at Saunt Edhar associated with rooftop optics and photomnemonic handling. Acting on a hierarch’s instruction, he retrieved a tablet from the rooftop telescope, kept a personal copy of its image, and later joined an avout Peregrin group traveling extramuros.
