NotesRecurring NPC introduced in ch-19 (Tournament of Stars) as 'the prodigy builder, now running YukYuk's lab'; kingdom-sheet lists him as Starfall's 'Mechanical genius' (Friendly). Designed the Mark 4 farming-bot AI learning layer (autonomous decision-making) alongside Mac (mechanical) and YukYuk (project lead). Flagged an integration concern in his design docs — Section 4, Paragraph 2, Subsection C — using the word 'recommend' when stronger language was warranted; his code works exactly as designed.
