Bruno Mynthi Showers (November 16, 1029 - The End of Time, also 1989 -) also known as "Bruno the Great", "Seer of the Order of Memir", and "the Lord of Burning". Widely known to be a cool guy.

The Early Years
Born to an entity only known as The Dying Dreamer in the dystopian city-state of Stonefell-by-the-Sea, he matured quickly. By the age of 6, he had grown to the height of one whole furlong, which, in his time, was above average, though not so exceptional as it would be considered today. Bruno never knew his mother, if indeed he had one, and his father died dreaming when he was still a lad.

A common myth about Bruno is that he was the founder of the profession of turtle-burning, and this is utterly false. He did famously comment to Ryleh'lcoke the Turtle, who was known for climbing on the backs of his long-lived progenitors that it seemed to be "Turtles all the way down." Other than this, he was never known to associate with turtles in any meaningful way, and scholars to this day are baffled as to how the viscious turtle-burning rumours began.

At the age of 89, only just having passed through puberty (as was the custom at the time) Bruno became aligned with the new political party The Order of Memir, founded by Memir the Great in 1067. Bruno quickly rose through the ranks of The Order of Memir by virtue of his great strides in the fields of parapsychology and ufology, as well as his general mystical prowess. It is said that he gained acceptance to the cult by entering into a psychic battle with the current High Priest, and bowing him beneath his power. The veracity of these claims is unknown.

The Order and the Ascension
Nothing explains his tenure as Seer so well as he himself did, in this passage;

''For they never shew me the things I have gleaned from their minds, and they fear me even as I fear myself. I dream of dying,        and die of dreaming, as my father before me. But these deaths, it seems, die themselves.'' ~ Bruno Mynthi Showers, in Meditations of a Supremely Bored Creature
