Unidentified earth-scholar Most High Academe
- "The High Librarian himself — the greatest earth-scholar of all — had found him starving in the slums of Undertown and brought him up here to the palace."
- —Tweezel, recounting his experiences with the High Academe[1]
This Most High Academe was the last earth-scholar to hold the post in Sanctaphrax. After his death in -59 ᴇ.ʏ., the last earth-scholars were cast out of Sanctaphrax and the new Most High Academe chosen was a sky-scholar.[1]
Biography

In -59 ᴇ.ʏ., he died, and his position as Most High Academe was taken over by a sky-scholar.[1]
