Eldest of the Padjal in Gridania, Brother E-Sumi-Yan claims that he stopped counting the number of years in his life after his hundredth nameday. As such, scholars can only speculate as to his actual age, though many believe him to have seen no fewer than two hundred and thirty summers. Regardless, his knowledge is rich and deep, and he has used it well in educating a great many younger Padjal. He is well suited to his present position as master of the Conjurers' Guild.
