Girl Genius


Doctor Yglyn is the Curate of the Red Cathedral in Mechanicsburg. He normally is in charge of giving public tours of that structure, but when Agatha is officially declared the new Heterodyne, there is (as usual) no Bishop around, and the Abbess is… otherwise occupied … so he performs the ceremonies to mark the occasion.

As he himself says, some of these are merely symbolic, but others "hold back Hideous Extradimensional Beings that would ravage our world", and one in particular allows the independent Heterodyne systems in the Cathedral to recognize Agatha. For this, Yglyn pulls out the trusty Knife of Wisdom to collect a sample; when the "blood" option is (as expected) taken off the table, he cheerfully settles for a bit of her hair. (In addition to the Knife of Wisdom, Yglyn's rather unusual liturgical accessories include his ceremonial teeth. ) All that done, he gets the honor being the first in line to officially cringe for mercy.

He is last seen watching the Drop-Armor of The Baron descend on Mechanicburg, and is presumably trapped in the time bubble created by the Baron's Take-Five Bomb.
