To Teach the Dead: Mark of the Maleficus releases in 4 days, February 27th, 2026! These characters live rent-free in my head, so I thought I'd spend the days leading up to launch day introducing you to a few. (It's the least they can do, lousy free-loaders.) Meet Vorago, the head of the Night Classes, and the titular Director inside the Board of Directors. Very few know the name behind the Latin pseudonym, and most everyone, including staff and students alike simply refer to him as The Director. Many whispered rumors abound surrounding this mysterious figure, including his alleged ability to see through Nevermore's eyes in order to keep a close eye on events taking place within his schools. It has also been said that if he gets angry, the temperature inside that room will plummet, and that he may also wield an uncanny ability to read your thoughts at a whim. See for yourself what is rumor versus fact as you meet him in To Teach the Dead, and in To Teach the Dead: Mark of the Maleficus, coming soon!
