Agrontus

Agrontus was Gravitcher's predecessor as lead Artifector of the Laboratory of the Strange and Wonderful House

As lead artifector, he had the honour of pressing the button to switch on the first Perpetual Motion Machine prototype created in collaboration by all the Artifectors. Though it showed signs of working as intended, the machine promptly exploded in Agrontus's face, killing him. His successor Gravitcher's first task as the new leader was to preside over the ceremonial cremation of Agrontus's remains “once they had all been located”.
