A well-to-do and intellectual researcher. He has spent ten years reading hundreds of books on chemistry, history of religions, Esperanto, and alchemy. He is traveling through the desert with a caravan to find the legendary 200-year-old Alchemist said to live in the Al-Fayoum Oasis and learn from him the secrets of the Great Work (the Philosopher's Stone and the Elixir of Life). He meets Santiago in Tangier, and they set out together. He is overly attached to his books, so much so that during the journey through the desert, he devotes his time to studying his massive thick books instead of observing nature and people.
He is the son of a wealthy European father and has spent most of his fortune traveling to the world's rare libraries and seeking hidden knowledge within books. He is concerned with solving the mysteries without practicing them.
A middle-aged person who dresses like a European in the Arab world and is never seen without his heavy trunks of books, research notes, and magazines.
Santiago
Opposite poles experiencing the clash of practical wisdom and theoretical intelligence while traveling together.
Simyacı
The spiritual and academic deity he came all the way to the desert to see. However, all he wants is practice turned into action.
