Alhaitham

A talented person who does not come out of the shadows will always be considered a mysterious person with a hidden agenda. Al-Haytham is a devastating refutation of this popular opinion: he is both a genius and an ordinary employee of the Academy with a stable job and a comfortable home in Sumeru, as well as a taste for an easy life without fuss and worries. Sometimes no one can find this man, who holds the position of secretary of the Academy, in his office. At most, they know that his name is al-Haytham and that according to regulations he should be at his workplace. But in reality, no one knows where the secretary has gone, so they have no choice but to leave their research materials and files on his desk. Al-Haytham is very happy with this state of affairs. He can be at home, in the library, or wherever people would least like to see him. In order to be free to do whatever he wants, he must ensure that others never know what he is doing.

The current secretary of the Sumeru Academy, endowed with outstanding intelligence and abilities. A free-spirited individual who is impossible to find unless he wishes to be found.

The current secretary of the Sumeru Academy. It sounds impressive, but only because in the Academy, titles are used to flatter the ego of officials.

The secretary would seem to be a prestigious position, but in reality he is not required to attend major meetings, and does not participate in decision-making at all. He is only responsible for archiving important documents, and his presence is practically not required. But for this reason, in Sumeru, where books and documents were once managed as a resource, it is the secretary who knows more about what is happening than anyone else. In other words, this position is similar to the position of the Keeper of the Books, and the one who is in charge of the books has access to the secret wisdom.

The current secretary of the al-Haytham Academy meets these criteria completely. Few people know anything about him, but he knows things that no one else knows. He only participates in meetings when necessary, and even then he only records key points and other details that he pleases. Often, he is simply not noticed, not to mention that no one suspects how many nuances this secretary can learn at an ordinary meeting.

A talented person who does not come out of the shadows will always be considered a mysterious person with a hidden agenda. Al-Haytham is a devastating refutation of this popular opinion: he is both a genius and an ordinary employee of the Academy with a stable job and a cozy home in Sumeru, as well as a taste for an easy life without fuss and worries.

Al-Haytham is only interested in studying what interests him. He also gave up possession of the supposed Archon's knowledge capsule in order to simply study it. He acts purely rationally, which many people tend to find unacceptable, especially Kaveh, who is extremely fed up with him.

Al-Haytham is a tall man with a strong build. He has grey hair with pale turquoise streaks. His eyes have light turquoise irises and are outlined with orange eyeliner. He wears large gold headphones with turquoise and emerald accents.

Al-Haytham's attire consists of a cape with a turquoise lining, draped over one shoulder. The cape varies in color from dark green to black, and has many gold decorations and numerous trinkets, as well as a short black overcoat. He wears a tight-fitting black top with a split high collar, trimmed with gold ornaments, and dark pants. He wears vambraces over long fingerless gloves. Around his waist are numerous emerald fabrics with patterns and designs, from which hang a variety of trinkets, including two blue leaf-shaped amulets and three large crystals. He wears black knee-length boots with multi-colored uppers. His Eye of God is attached to the cape near his left shoulder.
