Clerk

stern detached procedural impartial bewildered

The Clerk oversees administrative operations in Millenius's judicial system on Marinus. He manages exhibits and documents, grants permissions for trials, enforces protocols against disruptions, and relays announcements from judges. Stern and detached, he upholds procedural impartiality amid interactions with prosecutors like Eyesen, investigators like Tarron, and outsiders such as the Doctor and companions. His clinical focus prioritizes order over personal pleas, though anomalous events like sudden disappearances leave him visibly unsettled.
