Ephebian philosopher, also called Abraxas the Agnostic, and 'Charcoal' Abraxas (because he had been struck by lightning fifteen times - which suggests that being an agnostic requries an enviable strength of mind, not to say thickness of skull. His own comment, just before the fifteenth stroke, was 'They needn't think they can make me beleive in them by smiting me the whole time'). He was the author of On Religion, and the man who found the Lost City Of Ee. And presumably lost it again. He was readily identified by the smell of burnt of hair.
