Kapelionas Laibys

maleFirst seen chapter 33Last seen chapter 73

Introduced as the chapel doctor (kapelionas) Laibys, a well‑educated modernist who takes part in the feast dialogue. His words gave Vasaris a surge of energy after the indulgence. Laibys (chaplain) delivers a speech insulting women as kurtizans, targeting the baroness, and mocks Vasaris. Laibys' study appears in a richly described room with a piano, cross, and skull, and he delivers a scathing critique of contemporary church politics. Laibys scolds Vasaris for his delay, mocks his aspirations, and pushes him toward the Academy while revealing the doctor’s mobilization. Joins Platūnas in mocking Liudas within the dream sequence.
