Preceptor of the Collegium, serving in Shamandar, keeper of these very archives, and Ħamy's friend and confidant.
Muadib Baraka is a Preceptor of the Collegium of Preceptors, serving at Shamandar rather than at the Seminary itself, though it was there, in the Mawsoa, that he trained. He writes the Zagel on the Collegium's behalf: a bald, beardless scholar with eyes "sharp as flint and older than his face." He wears the deep blue robe and golden sash of the Collegium, and is close enough to Ħamy Samasar to be trusted with more than most. See Zagel to read his own words.
