Biography[]
Candidacy to be the Librarian[]
After the supposed death of Edward Wilde in 2004, Professor Jonas Sheir received an invitation explaining that he had been selected as a candidate to become the new Librarian. Sheir traveled to the Metropolitan Public Library for an interview but didn't receive the position, as it was given to Flynn Carsen instead.
The Crown of King Arthur[]
In 2014, he discovered that a painting, The Crown of King Arthur, was a clue that might lead to where the actual crown of King Arthur was hidden. Knowing about The Library and that Carsen was the Librarian, Sheir made his way there, unaware that he was being stalked by Dulaque, who wanted the crown for himself. Once inside the Metropolitan Public Library, Sheir called the Library, asking to speak to Flynn Carsen, whom he identified as the Librarian. Carsen, who had answered the phone, replied that Mr. Carsen was actually in Minneapolis at a library-sciences seminar but Sheir knew better and stated that Carsen had been in Berlin recovering the Opal of Samarrah, then realized that he was talking to Carsen. Sheir then told Carsen that he was outside and was coming in and would explain everything in proper detail when they met, but was stabbed and killed by Dulaque in the foyer of the Metropolitan Public Library. However, Dulaque's attempt to prevent the Librarian from learning about Sheir's discovery was thwarted when Carsen found a photograph of the painting near Sheir's body.[1]

Trivia[]
- He had five PHDs.
- It was Sheir's discovery that the painting was a clue to the location of King Arthur's crown that caused the Serpent Brotherhood to begin killing off people who had been top-ranked candidates to be the Librarian. The cultists killed the candidates because they were the people most likely to find the crown and the brotherhood wanted to wipe out the competition.
