Ancient

Appearance
An albino (very white skin, red eyes, sensitivity to light), with long white hair. Frail build; uses a wheelchair and almost never leaves his room, dorm #10 - which he has all for himself.

In The House
We see Ancient in the flashback episodes, over the seniors' last year, through the eyes of Grasshopper, whom he adopts as a disciple. As The Pack continues to bully Grasshopper, Blind devises a plan to ask Ancient to create an amulet (on which he is the authority in the House) for Grasshopper containing "power". Ancient agrees, but soon Grasshopper starts to doubt this power, and under the guise of "restoring" it Ancient trains him in meditation, self-control and physical prowess (and in playing chess).

On the Other Side
Unknown

Apocrypha
In a deleted scene (restored for the extended Russian edition) Ancient returns to the House on the last night, just before the search, explaining to Sphinx that he needed to see it one last time. Complains of tiredness to make Sphinx leave him to get rest, then goes over to the Other Side completely.
