The Conservatory was one of multiple greenhouses within the House. It was large and highly dangerous, the only door being locked and watched over by the guards in [[#The Guardroom|the Guardroom]]. Visitors were permitted, but only if they outfitted themselves properly and agreed not to stray off the path, and not to touch any of the plants, or the glass within which some were held.

The garden was actually a version of [[Garden of Eden|''the'' Garden]]. It was “a beautiful place where plant life of every kind imaginable and some you had never heard of grows together, seeming somehow both wild and ordered”. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Our Strange and Wonderful House (novel)|Our Strange and Wonderful House]]'': ''[[Our_Strange_and_Wonderful_House_(novel)#Appendix_13-III:_Back_to_the_Garden|Back to the Garden]]'') It was entirely indoors, but strewn about with panes of glass, most of which allowed direct sunlight of unknown provenance to stream through. Other panels were windows into other parts of the Strange and Wonderful House.

He appeared as a wizened old man with a machete to the naked eye, but his reflections revealed his true form as a many-winged creature wielding a [[Flaming Sword|flaming sword]].
