Ulnius first appears in The Will of the Many as the Academy’s infirmary head, a cheerful, white-cloaked healer whose crooked nose, slight limp, and missing tooth give him a memorable, comforting presence. Across the series he remains the quiet constant in a world of shifting allegiances, quietly patching wounds—both physical and political—that the Hierarchy’s elite cannot or will not mend. His gentle authority and growing network of grateful patients gradually transform him from a background caretaker into an indispensable behind-the-scenes power broker whose influence extends far beyond the sickbay.

Description

A white-cloaked man with a cheerful demeanor despite his slight limp. His craggy face is dominated by a crooked blunt nose, and when he smiles, a missing tooth becomes visible. The white cloak drapes over his frame as he moves with his characteristic gait.
