The Builder
Constructed BNCY as a legitimate institution. Recruited Fredrick. Built the architecture that would allow him to fund both sides of a war without either side knowing.
Later years
Meets Amaryllis and Eevi at BNCY. Studies them. Asks intelligent questions about the Tesseract in a way that feels like admiration. His hands never move. Falsifies the tactical map that marks the Great Plateau as a Red Zone. Orders the mercenary strike that wakes Chrys. "You little traitor." — said to Amaryllis. Fond. Disappointed. The record notes almost grandfatherly. That is the most disturbing version of the line. His dead man's switch. If he goes down, the city goes with him. The record notes bNCY in ruins. Amaryllis and Eevi captured.
Character
Professor does not lie to himself. He is one of the few characters in this saga who is completely clear-eyed about what he is doing and why. That is what makes him genuinely dangerous. Warm. Measured. Academic. He speaks the way a man speaks. Who has never once been interrupted in his life.
