Head Monk Bukham Coda
Head Monk Bukham Coda
Bukham Coda, the Head Monk of the Sanctum of a Thousand Eyes, carries the calm of an ancient oak and the weight of an unsolved riddle. Broad-shouldered and soft-spoken, with eyes that shift from brown to gray like storm clouds over stone, he is said to remember everything he’s ever read—or heard. His voice rarely rises above a whisper, yet it has a way of holding attention, as if every word is chosen from a place deeper than speech.
Bukham has led the Watchers of the Glint for nearly four decades, guiding the monastery through both mortal and fey intrigues that ripple from Prince Caer’s court. He discourages superstition, claiming that Mendohr values clarity over mystery, but the novices whisper that Bukham sometimes holds quiet conversations with the mirrored lenses that line the Sanctum’s halls. They say he listens… and that something on the other side listens back.
Visitors find him courteous, though deeply unsettling. His serene demeanor gives the impression that he already knows the question before it’s asked and, worse, the answer you’d hoped not to hear.
Some of Prince Caer’s advisors suspect the old monk sees too much—perhaps more than even Mendohr intends—but as long as Bukham Coda rules the Sanctum, truth itself seems content to stay one step out of reach.

Mannerisms
When deep in thought, Bukham gently taps the edge of his temple with two fingers, the motion slow and rhythmic, like counting heartbeats. Observers often notice his pale eyes unfocus during this habit, their color flickering with faint, mirrored reflections—as though the thousand eyes of the Sanctum answer in silent resonance through him.
