Numair is not Parker. But he has every reason to have this "inside" knowledge. Take 10 seconds to google his name and it'll be obvious.



Numair Salmalín is a fictional character created by Tamora Pierce. He exists in the Tortallan universe and is a major character in the series The Immortals but is mentioned also in later series.

Well, now I'm just confused.


Be confused no longer. This is the part he was referring to:

"He is often said to be the most powerful mage in the Realm"

If numair really is the most powerful mage in the Realm, I think it's fair to say that he might have special knowledge of Sean Parker.

Summary: Numair is a long-time personal friend of Parker, built Facebook Audio, worked on "social media devices" at Motorola.


The wonderful ironic twist here is that the parent poster (Long Nguyen) is actually a close friend of mine AND went to Harvard.


Can't take a joke?


It's a poor one. And I'd rather not have it made at the expense of someone I do know even if I'm sure that it's not going to bother him in the slightest.
