An old man who is squatting in a byzantine corner of Peinforte Manor, he seems to know a great deal and is simply sitting and waiting to die there. Paisley Pythia Peinforte discovered him there half a decade ago when she heard knocking coming from a door deep in the manor. Since then, she rarely visited him, usually summoned by his knocking, when he would tell her about imminent threats to the safety of The HOTEL which she would then take care of without involving the others.

They have a strange, almost familiar rapport, and she seems to know much about him, trying to convince him to leave her home and rejoin the universe. Instead, he refuses to budge, and she has taken to confiding in him more as her own disenchantment with the direction of her life has set in. thanks to his advixe she was able to save the HOTEL from a Time Bomb , but she lied about how she had found out about the bomb, claiming she had seen in it a vision.

She knows that to act on too much of the Old Man's information would be to change the flow of time to the rest of it becomes moot, thus she relies upon him very infrequently.
