Guernicus the Inviolate was the founder of House Quaesitor of the Order of Hermes.
History[]
Guernicus was one of the most skeptical of the Founders regarding the whole Order thing, and loudly predicted it would fall apart in a matter of months due to infighting. For this very reason, Trianoma tapped him and his House to serve as the Order's judges and internal mediators, enforcing its laws. This earned them no great number of friends, especially considering that Guernicus was the discoverer of Gilgul, the ultimate punishment for any mage.
The Duresca Scrolls were purportedly a set of documents written by Guernicus laying out a plan to take over the whole Order, which House Quaesitor (naturally) declared fraudulent and destroyed.
