Master Mandrag appears as the clean-shaven alchemist at admissions and masters' tables, his stained hands marking his craft, though Kvothe deems him a horse's ass. From early University scenes to later mentions, he remains a background figure in the faculty, embodying the arcane rivalries. His presence highlights the specialized masters shaping Kvothe's education.

Description

A middle-aged man of average build, clean-shaven with a smooth face that reveals little. His hands are stained many colors, prominent with knuckles and bone-like structure from alchemical work. Dressed in University master's robes, he sits composed at tables. His presence is steady and precise, with an air of focused craftsmanship.
