The son of Maria Clementina and an English doctor named O'Connor, the narrator's first meeting with him occurs in February of '84, at Fray Bentos. The creator of a brand new way of enumeration, he is known about town for "knowing the time like a watch." Later that month when the narrator goes to retrieve his copies of Gradus ad Parnassum and Pliny's Natural History, he finds the title figure sitting in the dark, smoking, and reciting the entire contents of the Latin works he had just read. Before he dies of pulmonary congestion, he explains how his fall from a horse caused him to be able to reconstruct entire days, for 10 points, identify this title character of a short story collected in Ficciones who goes by the name "the Memorious."
