Phlox

Phlox was a Nomai scientist and craftsman who created the Nomai Memory Statues which were crucial to the Ash Twin Project. Born on Brittle Hollow, Phlox's father was Plume, who told him that many Nomai died when the Vessel crashed on Dark Bramble. Phlox was involved in the design of the Ash Twin Towers on Ash Twin.

After the start of the Ash Twin Project, Phlox moved to Giant's Deep where he set up a Statue Workshop together with Daz. Here he sculpted the memory statues which were necessary to pair Nomai with a memory mask to send information back in time. Daz helped Phlox with the statues but mainly worked on the memory storage masks. Phlox explained to Ramie that the memory statues only activate when the Ash Twin Project succeeds, or in the event of equipment failure. He wondered whether sending memories back in time is the same as sending a person back in time.

Phlox's remains can be found in the Statue Workshop on Giant's Deep.
