Magos Aedifex Vector van Flange

-Head Magos of the Infrastructure Department; well regarded by his subordinates.

-Had been absent for some time, having vanished during an exploration of the lava tubes, where his telemetry continued to report his location and status as alive, but out of reach—he went there searching for an optimal cargo route through the planet between two of Asterion's hives.  Sojourner Wakes considered this a non-issue at this time, and neglected to appoint a replacement leader for the Infrastructure Department, evidence of the friction between the two.

-Was safely recovered during by team due to interest in aiding/gaining influence with the Infrastructure Department, and possibly obtaining insight into the location of the lost Traquiel Fortress; these goals have been achieved. In addition, this mission led us to the discovery of the 508 and it's denizens.

-Long absence occured due to the actions of Ssar Wolstina, in her misguided attempts to preserve and protect the Chosen 508th.

-Van Flange has confirmed that Anvephone Traquiel enlisted his confidential aid in constructing a throughway to the original Traquiel Palace; how she discovered its location to begin with remains unknown.

-Magos van Flange provided a means of entrance to Fort Orpheon, and joined us in our initial exploration. His presence necessitated him being made aware of the Asterii Devices, when one was encountered.
