==Profile==
===Background===
Brishisan was one of the disciples of Solomon before his death in 960 BC, drawing the Age of Gods to a close and causing mystery to fade. The Director, along with other remaining Magi from the Age of Gods, came together to form the Mage's Association to preserve knowledge in 0 AD. He worked alongside his old friend Kischur Zelretch Schweinorg, another of Solomon's students. As True Ether was replaced by Ether in 20 AD, the Mages who chose to go forward with Modern Magecraft and Mystery chose to continue with the main Association, but those who refused the new Magecraft decided to close themselves off in Atlas and the Wandering Sea. All three organizations still remaining together as the Association, the Director and his associates spent the next eighty years spreading Magecraft, causing the energy and morale of the Age of Gods to resurface.Lord El-Melloi II Case Files material
The Director remained reigning over the Clock Tower branch of the Association after it was established in 500 AD until modern day. The Department of Lore reports directly to him.Fate/Grand Order: Cosmos in the Lostbelt - Second Prologue - Section 2: 26th December 2017 He is described by Raum as being the one to "guard" the Department of Lore.Fate/Grand Order: Epic of Remnant - Salem: The Forbidden Advent Garden - Section 8: Final Knot
In the 16th century, Brishisan was the one who named ORT after a failed expedition to it where all of the members of the expedition died. He declared it forbidden for humanity to approach, stating "Only the planet's screams will awaken ORT. It's hibernating nice and cozy in South America's underground. So you keep your hands off it. The planet will lose its anthroposphere if that thing starts moving."Fate/Grand Order: Cosmos in the Lostbelt - Nahui Mictlan: Golden Sea of Trees Travelogue - Prologue
He personally recruited a ten-year-old Daybit Sem Void into the Department of Lore in 2004, and is believed to be the only individual who remembers the name of Daybit's father.

In 2001, Brishisan assigned Bazett Fraga McRemitz to investigate an anomaly that occurred in Japan where a city had become unobservable for several days in May 1999. He believed it to be evidence of either a falsification of history or a point of branching toward a pruned event.Fate/Grand Order - Mahoutsukai no Yoru collaboration event: "Mahoutsukai no Yoru After Night" - Chapter 4: Twelve Lickle So-and-Sos
