Afras, the Overseer of the Great Work: "The Great Work, as foreseen and laid out by the Thrice-Blessed Prophet, has multiple phases. Entrusted with completing this essential plan for the survival of the First Dreamers was Afras, who served as the chief atmatech for the Dominion for many, many turns of the Calendar. The first phase was the creation of the simian species whose minds - connected into a single, collective subconscious - would serve as both the source of the Innerspace and its anchor to the Outerspace. This was completed in short order, as the soul-shapers of the First Dreamers were great of skill and quick of wit."
