The Five Scholars are a group of Returned[1] who study Awakening and BioChroma.[2] Their research leads to the ability to create Lifeless with only one Breath as well as the formulation of the Ichor-alcohol necessary to ensure their continued and efficient operation. At least some of the scholars them are worldhoppers.[3]
