When he was only 17, his father commissioned him to design a new wing for Castle Egreth. The result was breathtaking, which he himself described as the "conjunction of space and time" that interface in a "pre-subjected instantiation of the underrepresented whole". He became the hottest architect in Quendor. Two years later the wing collapsed killing over 4000 royal guests. This was credited to a miscalculation by the stonemason, who was summarily executed. He died in 789 GUE, a result of carcinogenic chemicals used to create blueprints, along with the Curse of Megaboz.
