Orhan
Orhan is revealed as an off‑world operative from Urnud—linked by locals to the visitor group nicknamed Pangee. He is embedded at Avrachon’s Dowment in the guise of a cloaked servitor and attends the delegate commonly called Zh’vaern.
Role and Relationships
- Minder: Identified by the delegate later named Jules Verne Durand as his watcher (minder). Durand states that Orhan is of Urnud.
- Cover and customs: While in disguise, Orhan follows the manner of cloistered theists, keeping his head fully covered and using a brief hand sign recognized by onlookers as Deolater‑style.
Actions and Notable Events
- Kitchen service: Works the messal kitchen and is seen tending a separate stew for his delegate.
- Exposure and containment: During a planned interruption that cut the sound feed and placed the room under a grounded mesh, Orhan was lured out to the pantry, confined in a separate shielded space, and relieved of a concealed wireless transmitter. Inside the messal, Durand removed his own cloak and named his world and mission, identifying Orhan’s role.
Traits and Presentation
- Quiet and observant while on duty; speaks little in public settings when cloaked.
