Emman Beldo

Emman Beldo is a Sæcular official present at the Concent of Saunt Tredegarh during the ongoing Convox. He serves as aide and driver to “Madame Secretary” Ignetha Foral, and engages directly with avout—especially Fraa Erasmas—to steer conversation toward practical responses to the Geometers.

First appearance and context

• After a widely attended Plenary in Tredegarh’s Unarian nave, Beldo introduces himself to Erasmas, identifies past study as a Unarian, and presses for attention to the visitors and how to respond. He presents as a literate, politically attuned Burger in formal dress.

Affiliations and relationships

• Sæcular service: Functions as an aide within the Sæcular apparatus and travels on Tredegarh business.
• Doyn and superior: Names “Madame Secretary” Ignetha Foral as his doyn; he also acts as her driver and courier between venues.
• Technical advisory role: Says he was pulled from a rocket agency to serve as Foral’s technical advisor, bridging between avout theorics and Sæcular decision‑makers.
• Convox presence: Moves between assemblies and working meals, maintaining contact with avout participants.

Role in current events

• At a Plurality of Worlds messal hosted at Avrachon’s Dowment, Beldo arrives with Foral and uses the bell‑board to summon Erasmas to the kitchen for side discussions. He asks for a plain‑language account of Hemn Spaces (distinguishing it from “fourth‑dimension travel”) and follows the explanation closely, posing clarifying questions aimed at what non‑theors will accept.
• Briefing focus: Prepares to explain these ideas to hard‑headed superiors he calls “Panjandrums,” probing for examples and framings that make consequential sense outside the mathic world.
• Reconnaissance gambit: Confides that a silent reconnaissance “bird” in synchronous orbit was re‑tasked to pass near the Hedron, expecting the vessel to reorient its pusher plate and expose normally hidden structure to ground telescopes. At the appointed time, observers on the lawn note a brief flash where the craft should be; Beldo takes this as the visitors striking the satellite with a directed‑energy shot (another onlooker specifies an X‑ray laser). He reports that civil authorities have taken precautions and anticipates reviewing images if the maneuver yields any.

Traits and presentation

• Direct, pragmatic, and comfortable bridging Sæcular and mathic settings.
• Praxic thinker who maps abstract theorics to concrete scenarios (for example, using “teleporter” thought experiments) and focuses on actionable implications for policy.

Current status

Working at Tredegarh alongside the Sæcular delegation, assisting Ignetha Foral; present at messals and positioning himself to plug into Lucub work and brief senior officials.
