Mies van der Rooh is an architect who lives with his father in a house next to Twinsen's, on Bug Street, Citadel Island.
In LBA, he works for Dr. FunFrock. When Twinsen needs a way of entering the Teleportation Center, he helps Twinsen, after Twinsen tells him that he is on a "special assignment for the good Dr. FunFrock, by giving him his identification card, and by giving him advice on how to enter.
He has done some work redesigning the sewer network of the island. The Weather Wizard had put an enchanted globe there, related to the Prophecy of Sendell; Mies locked it with the Pyramid Shaped Key which he kept in his house. He then painted the Hacienda's steambath. He is "defunct", and his father is updating his work.
In LBA2, Mies appears wounded in the Hacienda, with plaster and bandages, drinking with an intoxicated Quetch; he is happy that the alien Esmers buy drinks to everyone, especially the Wizards, to celebrate their arrival.
Asked about the School of Magic, he says that perhaps they "brought her around" as all the Wizards and the Esmers are hanging around the Hacienda.
Asked about the Wizards, he says he has seen some with Esmers gettings drunk, and wonders where they all went.
Trivia[]
- Mies' name is an obvious reference (possible tribute) to famous architect Ludwig Mies van der Rohe
- It is not clear why in the second game he appears wounded and his father refers to him as "defunct". He was possibly punished by FunFrock after Twinsen destroyed the Teleportation Center, as he gave the ID card to Twinsen for that. This might also explain his wounded appearance. On the other hand he might be defunct because of his drinking.
