Yorr
Yorr is a fictional figure from a Praxic Age entertainment serial—first an illustrated book and later adapted into moving pictures—frequently invoked when discussing Iconographies that shape how people in the Saeculum imagine the mathic world.
First Mention and Context
During a review of iconographies led by a senior avout, Yorr is cited as the namesake of a pattern used by Sæculars to characterize avout. The discussion places Yorr alongside other pop‑culture stand‑ins used to label recurring attitudes toward the maths.
Portrayal and Traits
Accounts describe Yorr as: - Labeled a "theorician" but operating in a praxic, hands‑on manner - Turned green from chemical work, with a tentacle sprouting from the back of his skull - Habitually clad in a white laboratory smock - Criminally insane and perpetually hatching a scheme to take over the world
These features mark him as a caricatured, menacing experimenter rather than a sober scholar.
Origins
Within the discussion, Yorr’s stories are identified as Praxic Age entertainment: originally an illustrated book, later made into moving pictures, emblematic of how such media codified simplified images of avout for the Saecular audience. See Praxic Age.
Cultural Role
Yorr functions as a convenient label within the study of Iconographies: a shorthand for depictions that cast avout as dangerous, unstable praxic tinkerers whose activities threaten the wider world. Avout study these patterns to anticipate reactions when dealing with people from the Saeculum.
