Achaicus Spinther

If you know Achaicus Spinther, consider yourself fortunate indeed because you are part of a network of more people than you realize. It would be a stretch to say that Achaicus knows everyone personally, but he generally knows someone that knows the someone you’re inquiring about, and knows how you might get to know even more. Even if he doesn’t know who you’re talking about, a few words about their discipline or background is all he needs to know in order to reach out to the person who does. Far from being a know-it-all, Achaicus is acutely aware of how much there is to know and therefore how important it is to have a well- developed network of experts who know all the things you could never find the time to learn, let alone master. Get to know him—and, if you’re very lucky, his eldest brother, Themistocles Spinther (page 85). Oddly, despite their vast social and professional connections, both brothers flatly deny any involvement with the Coalition for Magical Cooperation. Publicly, at least. His favourite person to spend time with these days is Lavinia Septima (page 15). He’s finding that his mind is increasingly distracted by thoughts of her, and is not at all bothered by it.
