- First seen · Book 1 · Ch. 11
Fra Jacopo d’Acqui feels like a keeper of other people’s memories, a chronicler whose brief mention hints at a world in which stories were gathered by hand and carried forward through ink. The text offers little of the man himself, leaving his quiet authority to the imagination.
