Character from Prince of Thorns by Mark Lawrence
Jorg's other tutor — an old scholar who taught him to think before Jorg learned to kill, and whose lessons echo through every clever thing the prince does.
Lundist taught Jorg mathematics, philosophy, and the habits of thought that make him more than a brute with a sword. He is referenced throughout the trilogy as the source of Jorg's education — the reason the prince can quote Plutarch between atrocities, the reason he understands leverage and strategy as intellectual problems rather than merely practical ones. Lundist represents the best version of what Jorg could have been — a scholar, a thinker, someone who uses intellect for building rather than destroying. That Jorg uses Lundist's education as a weapon rather than a foundation is the tragedy Lundist probably foresaw.
An elderly scholar with the particular look of someone who has spent decades with books and is comfortable with the fact. Thin, precise, and possessed of the quiet authority that comes from genuine knowledge rather than performed power.
