Jothan Messandi no longer holds a post at any accredited academic institution. He is best known as the author of Hoard of the Sky Raiders, which explains his theories that the origin of the fabled Sky Raiders is the undeveloped world of Mirayn/Jungleblut in Jungleblut subsector, Foreven Sector. Their fabled mass of treasure stolen from a dozen surrounding Worlds must also lie on Mirayn/Jungleblut, according to him.
