 ======Aish Nirkha aka the Captain of Knowledge ======
+{{:game_systems:traveller:npcs:aish_nirka.png?400 |}}
 **Organizer of the Conference on the Glisten Pearl**

+Aish Nirkha styles himself the ‘Captain of Knowledge’ in his rambling datanet ‘Infodels’. This is a contraction of information delivery but what Aish usually delivers is a long diatribe about how great he is, accompanied by vague snippets of information and some wild pseudo-theory based upon them. Most of his nonsense is connected with the Ancients in some manner but he will veer off into all manner of topics; advanced asteroid mining techniques, the significance of railroads in the social development of Chirper populations or an impromptu strategic analysis of Imperial-Hiver relations. Most of what he says seems plausible enough to someone with minimal knowledge and a certain amount of faith in the Captain of Knowledge, but almost all of it is flat-out wrong.
+The Captain of Knowledge has gone so far down the rabbit hole of conspiracy theories and tenuous connections that he no longer knows what is true and what is made-up. As a result he will launch into a discourse about something he knows next to nothing about with complete conviction and will invent details or corroborating evidence along the way. He is intolerant of being corrected by people who merely have a university degree in the subject. He always knows something nobody else does and will patiently explain why everyone else is misinformed.
+The problem is that only almost-all of what Aish Nirkha spouts is completely wrong or made up. He does have some good information and contacts who might or might not be more reliable than he is. Aish himself cannot tell what came from a solid source and what is a result of his multi-parsec conclusion jumps; to him it is all true. He has a large following among the wannabee Ancients Hunter communities and whilst most serious investigators will see through him very quickly he continues to be influential.
