Mannik



Mannik is a character in INSOMNIA: The Ark, working as Blakk's assistant at his bookstore in the Vulture's Nest.

Background
The "in-house philosopher" as described by Blakk. A stocky man with ridiculous haircut and decaying teeth. Takes his job seriously, arguing "a ghetter that picks up a book will never pick up a gun again". A bit of a writer. In his book the Station was actually buried underground the whole time and the Committee start pursuing the main character who discovered incredible abilities. The story ends with the main character killing a bunch of agents, the Commissary General offering him a position in the Committee, and the offer being refused. In the end he disappears into the darkness, lighting a cigarette only to be shot in the back by a sniper, an ending he really likes and refuses to change. Holds Blakk in high regard and is glad he pays so well. His favorite book is The Timeless Saga, even though the wording might be a little bit too fancy for him.

Interactions
Depending on dialogue choices, he can lend his favorite book to you (Timeless Saga Book I).

Trivia
The synopsis of his book foreshadows the events of the main quest of the game, as while details like the station being underground are false, The Committee does take an interest in KZ0012 with his unique Somnik feats and they can be joined in one of the endings.
