Description: Hyalalinto Ikrayu Rrevevenzírriu is the husband of Kámepyu and father of Yirgalisu. He is a retired professor of trichomancy and of the Zhagenbi language at the Warg Academy. He used to own the family wig shop with Kámepyu until they passed it down to Yirgalisu.

Hyalalinto is tall, skinny, and pale, with blue eyes and a weathered face. His flowing gray beard reaches to the ground and extends several feet in front of him. Unlike his son, he keeps his head hair short.

Trichomancy techniques: Hyalalinto has a very active, "grabby" style of trichomancy, using only his facial hair. When he was younger, he could climb up to high places using his beard as a grappling hook, and in an emergency, manipulate it to trip, throw, and restrain any potential attackers. However, his asthma inhibited his physical fitness even then, and in his old age he does not have the upper body strength required to pull off the same techniques without breaking his neck.

Trivia:

• Many of his students called him "Revy" or just "Professor R." because they couldn't pronounce his last name. He actually had a plaque on his desk that said "Prof. Hyalalinto Rrevevenzírriu / Extra credit for any new students who can say my name right" (of course, it was a joke, and he never actually gave extra credit to people who did).
