As you gradually find out, both from the games and the books, Atrus is part D\u2019ni: a long-lived race of human-like beings who created the Art of writing linking books. A sizeable chunk of their population ended up on Earth using this very method after discovering that their homeworld was dying, and settled in a very large underground cavern somewhere in New Mexico, where they built a city named after themselves. Atrus\u2019 grandfather was D\u2019ni, but his mother and grandmother were human. He himself married a non-D\u2019ni woman and had two sons with her, Sirrus and Achenar, both named after stars. Portrayed by one of the creators of the game, Rand Miller, Atrus appears as a middle-aged man with sad eyes, small round glasses,\u00a0light brown hair and a beard. You don\u2019t see much of him, but he comes across as a kind, bookish, caring person who has been struck by disaster and is trying his best to find a solution. Explaining any more at this point would be a spoiler, but suffice it to say that he\u2019s the good guy. He has a habit of writing journals detailing his explorations, and those will be your guides to the four ages you visit in the game.<\/p>\n            \n\t\t<div class=\"ngg-gallery-singlepic-image ngg-right\" style=\"max-width: 240px\">\n\t\t\t    \t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.grafskaya.club\/mysst\/wp-content\/gallery\/myst\/psycho.jpg\"\n\t\t     title=\"Hello there, Achenar.\"\n             data-src=\"https:\/\/www.grafskaya.club\/mysst\/wp-content\/gallery\/myst\/psycho.jpg\"\n             data-thumbnail=\"https:\/\/www.grafskaya.club\/mysst\/wp-content\/gallery\/myst\/thumbs\/thumbs_psycho.jpg\"\n             data-image-id=\"50\"\n             data-title=\"Giggity!\"\n             data-description=\"Hello there, Achenar.\"\n             target='_self'\n             class=\"shutterset_dfc9b60ddc0bef2ded6c7ba03669e932\">\n            <img class=\"ngg-singlepic\"\n             src=\"https:\/\/www.grafskaya.club\/mysst\/wp-content\/gallery\/myst\/cache\/psycho.jpg-nggid0250-ngg0dyn-240x180x100-00f0w010c010r110f110r010t010.jpg\"\n             alt=\"Giggity!\"\n             title=\"Giggity!\"\n              width=\"240\"               \/>\n    \t<\/a>\n\t\t      <\/div>\n        \n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong><a name=\"Achenar\"><\/a>Achenar:<\/strong> Atrus\u2019 elder son is imprisoned in the blue book. He is his father\u2019s prime suspect, and, from the get-go, it\u2019s pretty clear that he\u2019s not all there. Appearing as a dishevelled man with bushy brown hair and a beard (he\u2019s also portrayed by Rand Miller), and a generally wild look about him, he punctuates his speech with giggles, rants and mood swings. He also very adamantly states that his brother is a greedy bastard who tricked Atrus into wrongfully imprisoning him. Three of the ages you visit have a room where each brother lived, and Achenar\u2026well, let\u2019s just say he has some very peculiar tastes in both interior decoration and entertainment.<\/p>\n            \n\t\t<div class=\"ngg-gallery-singlepic-image ngg-right\" style=\"max-width: 240px\">\n\t\t\t    \t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.grafskaya.club\/mysst\/wp-content\/gallery\/myst\/manipulator.jpg\"\n\t\t     title=\"What&#039;s the matter, Sirrus?\"\n             data-src=\"https:\/\/www.grafskaya.club\/mysst\/wp-content\/gallery\/myst\/manipulator.jpg\"\n             data-thumbnail=\"https:\/\/www.grafskaya.club\/mysst\/wp-content\/gallery\/myst\/thumbs\/thumbs_manipulator.jpg\"\n             data-image-id=\"36\"\n             data-title=\"You talkin&#039; to me?\"\n             data-description=\"What&#039;s the matter, Sirrus?\"\n             target='_self'\n             class=\"shutterset_ad2ef6b94f930b0118e9d943f7784917\">\n            <img class=\"ngg-singlepic\"\n             src=\"https:\/\/www.grafskaya.club\/mysst\/wp-content\/gallery\/myst\/cache\/manipulator.jpg-nggid0236-ngg0dyn-240x180x100-00f0w010c010r110f110r010t010.jpg\"\n             alt=\"You talkin&#039; to me?\"\n             title=\"You talkin&#039; to me?\"\n              width=\"240\"               \/>\n    \t<\/a>\n\t\t      <\/div>\n        \n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong><a name=\"Sirrus\"><\/a>Sirrus:<\/strong> Atrus\u2019 younger son is, you guessed it, languishing in the red book. He\u2019s very different from his brother, appearing as a well-mannered young man, with short brown hair, a neatly-trimmed goatee and mocking eyes (he\u2019s portrayed by Robyn Miller, brother to Rand and co-developer of the game). He comes across as shrewd and reasonable, if somewhat haughty, and asserts that his brother is a raving lunatic, while he has been wrongfully imprisoned. I\u2019m seeing a pattern here. Just like Achenar, Sirrus also has his own quarters in three of the ages you visit, each a prime example of lavish interior decoration.
