Meer Prust is the Second High Auctioneer Representative for Sibylen, a short, heavyset man with a white Hungarian mustache who wears the ceremonial robes of the Auctioneers Guild. An expert in bureaucracy and InterCorporate law, he holds offices in The Spigot.
He first appeared in Episode 21, arriving during Viktor Strake’s interrogation of the crew. Using his authority, he demanded Strake release Dr. Corbin as the auction representative for Laicar Research, then backed Thorne’s legal argument to secure the release of the entire crew for 24 hours, quietly telling Strake afterward, “After the auction, they’re all yours.”
Prust went on to conduct the auction for Exosite 34b. Void Cultists attacked during the raid on the exosite, and Prust was among a dozen-plus captives taken, alongside Vera Corbin and others. He was later brought to the alien device known as the Fork (also called the Paracausal Bifurcation Array, or PBA) and merged with two other captives into a single virtual intelligence housed in a silver orb.
