DISCUSS!!!

I also think yes.

Lorren reminds me quite a lot of Isaac Newton, who reportedly only laughed once, when somebody asked what the point was of studying Euclid.

Isaac Newton also had a feud with Robert Hook and used his authority as a member of the Royal Society to diminish Hook’s memory by having his portrait lost/removed. This reminds me of Lorren’s far more exaggerated role in suppressing information about the Chandrian/Lanre.

I do also wonder about the etymology of Lorren’s name.

Reddit post in r/kingkillerchronicle by u/msbox titled “do we think kvothe will make Lorren laugh?”

Post text reads: I think yes. Or somebody will.

Lorren: "I have a great respect for curiosity."

Unfortunately I only knew the word ‘stocky’ at that time and as a child I thought it was one in the same-one of those insidents where you hear a word but never see it spelt.

I pictured this character with broad shoulders, a full muscular figure, and big bones.

Fast forward to the rerelease of the series, with pictures. And the character looks like this:

Stalky. He was ‘Stalky’ the whole time.

Master Arcivist [Lorren] stands a bit taller than 6 1/2 feet tall [pg 258 NOTW] 

He also knows of Kvothe’s father, Arliden, asking about the name and calling his father a bard: “Did you say your fathers name was Arliden?” ... “yes” ... “Arliden the bard?... I was wondering what troupe he preformed in.”
