Oir

Frère Oir  was a mid-tier initiate of the Order of Draco of Earth-Alpha. His birth name is unknown, but he was a member of the Order before Edward Tamaron joined. He was presumably a student under Cyrus Sincodemius, but he could have also been trained by Harold Coppola only to join the Order later. He was said to have control over the power of the “unknown element” of  ether , linking him thus with Fr è res Rumirwwyn (fire), Koliwursah (earth), Uhl ô n (water), and Agar (air). By the 1940s, he was believed to be deceased of old age.

Trivia

 * We never learn the nature of Oir's powers; they are merely specified as being “of the ether”. The classical element of ether has been described as having a number of properties, including being the makeup of the void between worlds, the constructive framework of the universe, or an explanation for gravitational force. It also has a place in classical alchemy, perhaps indicating that in this case, the powers of Oir are those of transmutation. This could perhaps be an explanation of his name, as Oir is similar to the prefix “were-”, commonly used to describe creatures like the werewolf. The Earth-20181 Order of Draco's ranks included werewolves, but it is unknown is Oir was one. It is of note that the prefix were- actually refers to an adult male person.
