Yoké

Yoké (also Yoke) is an old mutant that keeps the Archives on Mutazione orderly. He is a good friend of Nonno, and to a lesser degree Mori. He is an important resource for Kai when it comes to information, whether it's historical codes and secrets or local gossip.

He is passionate about his work as an editor and archivist. He must use a wheelchair to move around, which means his schedule is nested around when others can help him change locations, and he cannot visit Nonno in his home.

History
Yoke is a mutant from Mutazione. When the Expedition of scientists arrived on the island, Yoke fell in love with Annika Wolf at first sight, and within a year they were expecting a child. Their relationship began to sour at this time, and when Annika perished in an accident with most of the Expedition, Yoke was left to raise RD as a single father.

Yoke and Nonno have long been best friends, and were once diligent catalogues of local flora, with Yoke illustrating and Nonno taking notes.

A few years before Kai's arrival on the island, RD suffered a mental break from his work as a shaman-apprentice, attacking his family and destroying his home, vanishing in the aftermath. Yoke has never fully recovered from this loss.

Gardening
Yoke passes Nonno's encyclopedia on to Kai, which prompts her to begin collecting seeds for gardening.

Kai asks him several times about gardening; unfortunately he doesn't have the answers she's looking for.
