• first Graduate Guide; with Grandfanda; chief of his order

24:6.4The num­ber of Grad­u­ate Guides is be­yond the power of hu­man minds to grasp, and they con­tinue to ap­pear. Their ori­gin is some­thing of a mys­tery. They have not ex­isted from eter­nity; they mys­te­ri­ously ap­pear as they are needed. There is no rec­ord of a Grad­u­ate Guide in all the realms of the cen­tral uni­verse un­til that far-dis­tant day when the first mor­tal pil­grim of all time made his way to the outer belt of the cen­tral cre­ation. The in­stant he ar­rived on the pi­lot world of the outer cir­cuit, he was met with friendly greet­ings by Malvo­rian, the first of the Grad­u­ate Guides and now the chief of their su­preme coun­cil and the di­rec­tor of their vast ed­u­ca­tional or­ga­ni­za­tion.

24:6.5On the Par­a­dise rec­ords of Ha­vona, in the sec­tion de­nom­i­nated “Grad­u­ate Guides,” there ap­pears this ini­tial en­try:

24:6.6“And Malvo­rian, the first of this or­der, did greet and in­struct the pil­grim dis­cov­erer of Ha­vona and did con­duct him from the outer cir­cuits of ini­tial ex­pe­ri­ence, step by step and cir­cuit by cir­cuit, un­til he stood in the very pres­ence of the Source and Des­tiny of all per­son­al­ity, sub­se­quently cross­ing the thresh­old of eter­nity to Par­a­dise.”
