Zevulun

Zevulun is a Tribunal Priest of the Gades Colonial Authority. He is assigned to the case of Abkwkbw Ayerw and Amushillek because he is known to be a specialist in dealing with magical anomalies. He is famous enough that an officer he meets at the Colonial Office on the coast of the Olmec Heartland has heard of him and what he did in northeast Iberia.

At some point in the past, Zevulun was called to take care of an anomalous occurrence somewhere in real-world Catalonia. He emerged unscathed, rare for a person of his experience entering a situation of that magnitude.

During 'Vinetail Distortion,' the cold Zevulun begins to see a small shred of similarity between himself and Amushillek. Amushillek was a simple man who became too bonded to the land he was sent to to leave it. Zevulun worries for a moment that he's going to become bonded with his job as a tribunal priest.
