Valkadesh Wis-lem, Valkadesh the Scholar, is the father of Beh Lem, living in a house outside of the main city. Valkadesh studied the Book of Prophecies and advised the Avatar that the sacrifice the prophecy spoke of could have three meanings: of self, of others, and of valuables. After the Avatar visited him with Beh Lem, Valkadesh suggested sacrificing the Codex of Ultimate Wisdom to save the Avatar's life and the lives of the Gargoyles.
