Emman Beldo

Emman Beldo is a Sæcular official who appears at the gatherings in the Concent of Saunt Tredegarh. Immediately after a widely attended Plenary conducted by Fraa Lodoghir, he introduces himself to Fraa Erasmas and pushes for practical discussion of the visitors from orbit.

First appearance and context

• Meets Erasmas on the steps below the Plenary stage in Tredegarh’s Unarian nave, moments after the session ends. He gives his name and cites a government ministry (the specific department is not recorded in the account) and asks bluntly what the exchange on stage was about.
• He says he “put in five years as a Unarian,” and Erasmas sizes him up as a literate, smart Burger who reads and works with ideas. In dress he presents as an important Sæcular—youthful beneath formal clothes.

Affiliations and relationships

• Government service: Names a ministry but does not specify which in the recorded exchange.
• Doyn and superior: Identifies “Madame Secretary” Ignetha Foral as his doyn. He indicates he will attend the Plurality of Worlds messal at Avrachon’s Dowment that she plans to visit.
• Convox presence: Part of the Sæcular contingent attending assemblies at Tredegarh during the Convox.

Role in current events

• Priority on external threat: Tells Erasmas he came expecting focus on the Geometers and insists discussion should address the “threat” and how to respond. He is impatient with theoretical detours (e.g., consciousness, analemmas) when he believes action is needed.
• Liaison posture: Signals an intent to continue the conversation at an upcoming messal alongside his doyn, suggesting an ongoing interface between Sæcular leadership and avout witnesses.

Traits and presentation

• Direct, pragmatic, and politically attuned; comfortable speaking with senior avout.
• Younger than his formal appearance suggests; described as literate and professionally engaged with ideas.

Current status

Present at Tredegarh with the Sæcular delegation, preparing to attend the Plurality of Worlds messal at Avrachon’s Dowment with his doyn, Ignetha Foral. His immediate concern is coordinating useful discussion of the Geometers and practical responses within the Convox setting.
