Estimated age

2.3 billion years

Temperament

Ancient-looking, contemplative, and entirely unhurried

Favorite activities

holding silence, remaining older than the room, making time feel less urgent

Before Sanctuary

Before his lawful collection from private land, Yarrow rested near an old field boundary whose original purpose had been forgotten by everyone except the records office.
