Plitinius Mero
Plitinius Mero , an Imperial savant, is an author in the employment of Barenziah.
"Plitinius Mero" is actually an alias; after writing The Real Barenziah, he had to assume a false name to escape persecution by the Imperial family. Barenziah did not mind the details of his book and protected him from being assassinated.
