Fraa Carmolathu is first identified during the assembly outside the Concent of Saunt Edhar when Evoked avout organize vehicles to travel extramuros under a Convox. He is named while riding with a small navigating group that includes Fraa Erasmas, Sammann, and Arsibalt. He is part of the contingent planning a detour to Bly’s Butte to search for Fraa Orolo before proceeding toward Saunt Tredegarh.

Affiliations and Relationships

• Cohort: Counted among the Hundreders.
• Associates on the journey: travels alongside Fraa Erasmas, Sammann of the Ita, and Arsibalt within a mixed group of avout and local drivers. Fellow Hundreders traveling in the same broader contingent include Harbret and Fraa Criscan.

• Rides in the same vehicle as the navigating group (with Arsibalt, Sammann, and driver Ferman Beller) as the caravan departs; later overnights with the group at a Bazian Orthodox retreat center on a nearby mountain, where he sits with the other Hundreders during the meal.

Descriptions and Characteristics

• Social impression: described by the narrator as “a little bit of a dork” (paraphrased here as slightly awkward in manner).
• Age: previously inferred by the narrator to be older than Fraa Orolo by several years; treated as an estimate rather than a confirmed fact.
• Language: during the retreat-center meal he is among the Hundreders noted as not speaking Fluccish, conversing instead among themselves in Orth.
