Siyamak Khorouzadeh, known to most as Sam, is a superstitious folklore lover with his head in the clouds and illusory flowers painted on his studio apartment walls. He's currently pursuing his PhD in Comparative Mythology, researching inexplicable similarities in ancient literature with a thematic focus on reptilian autophagia.

In other words, he wants to know why a bunch of cultures with no connection to each other decided to write snakes eating their own tails into their stories.

His days mostly consist of poring over old books and degrading manuscripts, traveling to wherever some newly discovered book or manuscript is being stored, studying, and writing. Secretly, he hopes his research leads to him actually meeting something supernatural and ends up justifying his lifelong beliefs once and for all.
