Character
Linus Korrin-Wei
Linus Korrin-Wei is a PANTHEA archaeologist specializing in Osharran artifacts and the author of a controversial paper arguing the Khala Reen were not simply annihilating AI, but attempting to purify it. Korrin-Wei’s career illustrates how institutions neutralize inconvenient scholarship without openly disproving it. His controversial interpretation of nashet threatens the accepted story of Osharran collapse, but rather than being publicly destroyed, he is absorbed into PANTHEA and isolated from meaningful independent work. His later actions suggest he never fully abandoned the question, even after learning the cost of pursuing it.
Spoilers
Korrin-Wei is killed after continuing to investigate evidence that contradicts PANTHEA’s official account of Osharran history.
