# Glendyne — Nordenholt’s Million character guide

> Glendyne in Nordenholt’s Million by J. J. Connington.

**Role:** supporting

**First appearance:** 0004-iii-b-diazotans

## Snapshot

A blunt scientist-engineer in Nordenholt's circle, unafraid to tell a shaken idealist that the brute is the basis of every human machine.

## Who they are

Glendyne speaks to Jack with a rough candour that strips away illusions about human nature, insisting that reconstruction must be built for flesh-and-blood units rather than ideals. He reports on the night's grim doings and serves as Nordenholt's hard-headed conscience in matters of what can actually be built. His realism shapes how the younger men approach the work ahead.
