Parek works as the sommelier for the upscale level of Purgatorio. He is an elderly Cerean, with a fringe of steel-grey hair and watery blue eyes. He is a man who takes great pleasure in neatness; the lines of his tuxedo are ruler-straight, and he is never seen without his white gloves and gold pocket watch.
Personality
He maintains an encyclopedic knowledge regarding wine and its appropriate pairings. He also has the remarkable ability to remember the pertinent details of all of the patrons who pass through the doors, including names, professions, pastimes, favorite foods and favorite beverages. He utilizes this knowledge to make sure that each guest receives five star service, every time they visit.
Though he is well liked by the customers, he is disliked by the waitstaff, due to his constant expectation of perfection from all who work at Purgatorio.
