Florus Fürst

Dr. Florus Fürst was a scholar of Medieval History from Zürich. Fascinated by the Book Club, Fürst was one of the first scholars to make any connection between the now defunct esoteric scholarly organization and a series of antique archaeological finds in unpublished manuscript.

He moved to the small town of San Benito in 1913 to conduct research for this manuscript. In the fall of 1920 Fürst is visited by a contingent from AIX led by Hannibal Hindenburg-Weller. This theft breaks Fürst and in the following months he becomes increasingly unhinged wildly threatening to anyone who will listen to go public and attack AIX.

He was killed by Father Marco Gutiérrez in February of 1922. He is buried in the cemetery at the church in San Benito.
