President of the Gvenor Corporation

Head of the Gvenor Corporation and a dominant figure in the League. For years he has sought the preserved DNA of Guilord Messagala, for reasons no one in the Preceptorium can name — only that his interest never fades.

The persistent interest

Eberckhard Cleburne presides over the Gvenor Corporation, a megacorp built on the strategic metals the evacuation cannot proceed without. That makes him powerful. What makes him dangerous is his fixation: for years he has petitioned for access to the DNA of Guilord Ostan Messagala, and the Preceptorium has refused him every time.

Cleburne knows things the public does not — that Messagala is dead, that his refusal to cooperate cost him, that his preserved genome is a weapon. Whatever he intends with it, he is certain of one thing: it won't end well.

Function

President of the Gvenor Corporation, a pillar of the League. Publicly an industrialist; privately, the man hunting a dead genius’s genome.

The obsession

He has sought Messagala’s DNA for years. The Preceptorium believes the stolen sample has reached him — and that he already knows what to do with it.

The fear

Cleburne is not a reckless man. When he says revealing Messagala would be catastrophic, he means he has seen what the knowledge does to those who hold it.

“Some things cannot be shared.”
