A lone human who endured the Zeta Minor expedition’s failed extraction, returning years later to bury the dead. His white beard and lean frame mark time spent in harsh isolation. The act of planting Egard Lumb’s marker is both penance and warning—a quiet defiance against the planet’s merciless claim. His presence carries the weight of survival, the cost of hubris, and the resolve to memorialize what others would leave behind.
