William Gordone

William Gordone is a professor of theological numerology in the Department of Hidden Sequences.
== Character Overview ==
William Gordone is the professor of theological numerology. He knows at least 12 major religious texts by heart, and there is a rumor that the Pope visited him once and left looking like he’d seen a ghost. With his long spindly fingers and vaguely Albert-Einstein-y hair he looks distinctly like a photograph from 1910. Although he is friends with all the students he is diametrically opposed to technology (and asks the students at least once a day “what’s a meemee?”)
He sends and receives messages only by turkey vultures, which are heftier and more irascible than carrier pigeons. Vultures are often seen hopping along the hallways of the Birdcage, occasionally scaring freshman when they collide with the windows. Mass emails in numerology 101 are a hoot.  
== Trivia ==
* William was inspired by Charles Gordone, the first Black american to win the Pulitzer
* Has a pet turkey vulture
