Riem serves as the irritable elderly bursar at the University, overseeing the admissions process with a stern demeanor during Kvothe's examination. His brusque manner adds to the tension of the testing room scenes. He remains a background figure of administrative authority, enforcing rules with grumpy precision.
Description
An elderly man with a perpetually irritable expression, deep lines furrowing his brow and tightening his thin lips. Sharp eyes peer from beneath heavy lids, framed by sparse gray hair. Clad in simple bursar's robes, his lean frame holds a rigid, no-nonsense posture that demands compliance.
