Hegel Hirian

Hegel Hirian was an entrepreneur, politician, statist, casual sexologist, philosopher, and "the Godfather of Pimps." His greatest accomplishment is the establishment of Comer's most famous high-class brothel, The Ivory Tower. As such, he is well known to scholars and perverts alike for his achievements in sexual history.

Hirian was born in 169 in Niymen to a single mother. Very little is known about his mother, except for her work as a prostitute. It was his mother's occupation that led him to an interest in studying sex and relationships, though he never expressed any interest in pursuing them himself. His extensive, detailed, and frankly horrifying breadth of knowledge earned him a scholarship at University of *Dolphin Clicks*, where he majored in political science and psychology, with a concentration in sexual science. He cites one of his former professors, Dr. Sigur Fiud, as one of his main inspirations to pursue sexology and push himself to his limits. During his time at University, he became close friends with Leopold Loxelain. After they both graduated, Loxelain returned to Comer, and Hirian came with him, becoming a member of his small council. He was supposedly responsible for some of the King ****'s best decisions at that point.

The Founding of the Ivory Tower

Shortly after King Leopold ascended to the throne, Hirian noticed his friend's mood change significantly. The king become increasingly irritable and stressed, amplified by his attempts to balance the grief that came with the death of his father. Hirian collected the city's most popular prostitutes, supposedly as many as he could fit into one banquet hall (though this is apocryphal), and presented them to Leopold to do as he pleased. The women that he gathered later became known as The Ivory Carvers. Soon, these orgies became regular events in the palace, and several members of the royal court would eventually join in. According to some unnamed members of the original Carvers, Hirian would sit in a corner and vigorously take notes during these orgies.

After several nights of visits from the Ivory Carvers (and several complaints about the smell in the banquet hall), Hirian opened up a brothel in 197 that was meant for higher class and royal patrons. This establishment became a tourist destination for sexologists, political scientists, perverts, or any combination of the three.

Hirian died in 218 under unknown circumstances. Some believe he was crushed to death while studying a inter-species orgy. Others believe he asked a Loxodon to sit on his face so he could take notes on the subject's reaction. Yet another story attributes his death to a BDSM experiment gone horribly wrong.
