Al - Haytham

With Kaveh. This is perhaps the most noticeable and controversial relationship. They are roommates, and their interaction is built on the contrasting personalities: Al-Haytham is a rationalist, Kaveh is emotional and impulsive. They recognize each other's talents and even team up to research ancient structures and runes. However, their interactions are often toxic: they constantly tease each other, although deep down they truly value each other. In Al-Haytham's Legends quest, Kaveh says that they were once friends, but not anymore. With the Traveler. In the Sumeru arc, Al-Haytham becomes the protagonist's trusted assistant: together, they investigate the Academy's deception and help rescue the minor ruler Kusanali. Despite his outward coldness, he treats him well. With Paimon. The game shows that over time, Al-Haytham begins to dislike her. With colleagues at the Academy. Due to his abruptness and unsociability, he is unpopular among colleagues and students, though he is respected as a scholar. When offered the position of Great Sage, he declined, considering it too public and demanding for his lifestyle.

Social conventions and emotions. He is abrupt in communication, does not spare others' feelings, and is unable to smooth over conflicts. Strict timelines and constraints. He prefers to live at his own pace, appearing and disappearing as he sees fit. Unrequired meetings. If a meeting has no connection to his interests, he sees no point in attending. Soups. This is his least favorite dish.

Knowledge and research. He is genuinely passionate about the search for truth and enjoys the process of learning itself. The atmosphere is calm and relaxed. He uses soundproof headphones to concentrate. Practical things. He enjoys a comfortable life: good food, comfortable housing, the ability to sleep long hours. Coffee. It's one of the few things he genuinely enjoys and connects with Kaveh.

His key traits are rationalism, pragmatism, and extreme individualism. He's brilliant but unambitious: he doesn't seek power, but took the secretary's position for unimpeded access to knowledge and archives. Comfort, personal space, and the opportunity to pursue what truly interests him are important to him.

He was born into a family of hereditary scholars: his father was a teacher in Harawat, and his mother was a renowned scholar in Wahuman. But his parents died early, and Al-Haytham was raised by his grandmother, the scholar Kshahrewara. He was homeschooled for a long time because school was easy and boring for him. Obsessed with books, he prefers reading the books his grandmother collected to directly gaining knowledge from the Akashic world. During the storyline, Sumeru becomes an indispensable assistant to the protagonist: together they investigate the Academy's deception and, together with other characters, rescue the minor ruler Kusanali from captivity.

Al-Haytham is the secretary of the Sumeru Academy and a researcher at the Harawat Darshan. He is responsible for archiving and creating backup copies of the most important documents.
