Oh really? I didn't know that, but if I gave it a rank... Probably D-rank? It was supposed to be something grander but I didn't have time to put the full thing in mind out so its just awkwardly there... (Tbh, I'll just remove it)

Edit: [@Turboshitter]
The idea I had in my head was that Ayondale was an ambitious person climbing up the hierarchy of the Clocktower, burning people where he needed to so that he could get where he is today. I planned him to be a previous student of his from ages ago perhaps not a 'rebellious student' but more grudge that has been held on for some time similar to what Sonja might have. Combine with several courses that Robert took at the Clocktower before Ayondale, I think it would match up. Of course, this is counting that Ayondale himself was a teacher 10 years ago...

(Although I can knock several years if you want, I'd prefer him to be in his late 20s at minimum however. I do see some age anomalies in his backstory but that may be just me)
