Pondering what he discovered and learned while in the wormhole...

This image represents a character who only plays in some of our casts: The Philosopher.

 

This character is the most unsung hero of the entire cast collection. Not only is the Philosopher rarely utilized but his very existence is barely known, buried 6ft under stigma. To paraphrase Seneca; the Philosopher builds the personality, orders one's life, regulates one's conduct and sits at the helm, keeping one on the correct course despite being tossed about in perilous seas.

 

Through their flow of constant rationality, they're able to analyze our behavioural thought patterns and in short, reveal what we ought to do and what we ought to not.

a kind of self-portrait

Rambling up the southern side of the Heiligenberg, across the Neckar from the castle, one will find the Philosopher's Walk. Its name, it is said, stems from the fact that university professors and philosophers walked there, perhaps using the solitude of the forest and the incredible views of the city and surrounding area for inspiration. If you visit Heidelberg during the summer months, you will notice an interesting feature about the Philosopher's Walk – it has a climate which is much more temperate, almost Mediterranean-like, than that of the valley. In fact, you will see many plants growing here that normally cannot thrive in the northern, more milder weather, such as lemon trees, pomegranates, cypresses, and palm trees...

― Neil Gaiman
