Characters/Sebkha

Sebkha is a tiny, carnivorous mammal. Sebkha is an instance of a class of tiny, carnivorous mammals. The class of tiny, carnivorous mammals is Mustela erminea, better known as the stoat, or short-tailed weasel. Sebkha is also an event in space/time, a projection of the abstract erminetic manifold.

At only 40cm in length and under 300g, Sebkha can't manage vocalizations beyond rapid twittering or dooking. He "speaks" using handsigns, working around his lack of hands by using hand-shaped shadows silhouetted against the luminosity of his surrounding erminetic manifold.

Affecting the pretentious title of Witness to the Death of Worlds, Sebkha claims to be waiting for the end of history. He's quite patient for this to happen naturally rather than helping it along, so he's voyeuristic rather than destructive. He maintains a low social profile, seeking only to insinuate himself into the confidence of people he predicts to be key players in the downfall. He's very polite and not very threatening, not even when attempting to terrorize rodentforms like Squizzle in accordance with his ecological right.

History

It seems that this is not Sebkha's first vigil in his capacity as Witness. He's slippery on the point, usually derailing any line of questioning with hairsplitting about the pitfalls of temporal thinking outside of a space/time.

Mel is Sebkha's only known prior associate.
