Character from Foundation by Isaac Asimov
A brilliant Foundation psychologist who nearly located the Second Foundation — driven to superhuman effort by the Mule's mentalic prodding, he died seconds before revealing the secret.
One of the Foundation's finest minds — a psychologist who understood Seldon's mathematics intuitively. The Mule secretly used mentalic power to drive Mis's research into overdrive, burning through his mind like fuel. Mis worked with feverish intensity, growing thinner daily, unaware his brilliance was being accelerated toward self-destruction. Bayta killed him to prevent the secret reaching the Mule.
Heavyset, disheveled, wild gray hair and bloodshot eyes. Rumpled clothing, ink-stained fingers. In his final days, gaunt and hollow-eyed, consumed from within.
Also known as: Ebling Mis, Mis, Dr. Mis
