Ghyll:Rancticirchiretic
Biography
Rancticirchiretic (b. -76 EC–), pronounced ran'-nik, is a technomancer, researcher, cartographer, musician, mathematician, and stud. His parents are Patrick Retic, a farm labourer from Odlucia, and Patricia Rancticirchi, a littleschool headmistress from the same. Though born of these small-time beginnings, his parents taught him well and he proved to be a natural learner; a child prodigy in fact. At the age of five he had mastered the stringophone, and at the age of seven he had completed a thesis on the larval stage of the Burnfly which is still respected as the classic in the field.
His meteoric rise continued and was crowned with the honour of becoming in -56 EC the youngest president of the Bureau of Forgotten Knowledge to date, at the age of just twenty. He is the most outspoken president of the Bureau, and the least bounded by its constraints. It is he, for example, who gave Doc Rockett access to the Bureau's Cake building in -51 EC.

As Rancticirchiretic famously said, "It is far more comfortable for the chattering classes of Ghyll to suppose that [the Conflict] is a mere matter of legend, or at most of dead-and-gone history."
Rancticirchiretic, on the other hand, holds that aquentravalkeration was used solely by the royal line of the Nitenmangrey, and was a process by which the Paramount Queens ceremonially married the land.
