Blasius

Blasius is a major character who appears in The Memory of Babel as a clerc who works at the Memorial.

Born in Babel to anonymous parents, he at one point studied under Lazarus. He first met Ophelia when she upset his cart whilst he was tidying some books. The two later bumped into each other again on the train, becoming friends and deciding to further investigations on the murder of Miss Silence, which had been dismissed as an accident by Babel's authorities.

Blasius believes that he is cursed with an unnatural amount of bad luck, indeed, everything that possibly could tends to go wrong around him.

He has known Professor Wolf for quite some time and the two are later revealed to be romantically involved.
