A legendary character who is originally the King of Salem, who approached Santiago and began to converse with him while he was reading a book in Tarifa. He knows the lives, dreams, and fading Personal Legends of all people on earth. By taking a tenth of Santiago's sheep, he showed him the way to the Pyramids and instilled in him the concepts of the Soul of the World, signs (symbols), and the Personal Legend. He gave Santiago two magical stones named Urim and Thummim to use for divination when he was undecided.
His origin stretches back to the Holy Scripture and mythology (as the King of Righteousness and priest of God mentioned in the Old Testament). He has been helping humanity for centuries, appearing before those who approach their dreams to give them the final bit of courage. He hides his true identity as a king behind a special breastplate covered in gold and precious stones.
Originally an old man with an air of mystery and a slightly Arab appearance. Under his worn cloak, he wears an imposing royal breastplate made of solid gold and precious stones (from which Urim and Thummim were detached).
