Mirkhwand enters the account not as a figure in the room, but as a name carried forward by the written word. His presence suggests the quiet authority of a chronicler whose work has outlasted the moment it records.

Mirkhwand appears as a historian whose account is cited alongside Nikbi, lending a trace of earlier scholarship to the narrative. The text offers no further account of his life, personal ties, or career, leaving him present chiefly through the record attributed to him. His role is that of a remembered chronicler: a voice preserved by reference, rather than by a narrated story of his own.
Description
The text provides no physical description of Mirkhwand, so his appearance cannot be established. His age is given only broadly as adult; his complexion, hair, eyes, build, clothing, and distinguishing features are unspecified. A faithful visual depiction should avoid assigning him unsupported traits.
