QW: About Jonas and the Receiver.

From Chapter 8--With her announcement that Jonas had been selected to be the next Receiver of Memory, the Chief Elder turned to look upon one who sat in the midst but seemed oddly separate from them.. . a man Jonas had never noticed before, a bearded man with pale eyes. He was watching Jonas intently.

• Speculate as to why Jonas had never noticed the man before. Could it be that he had made himself inconspicuous on purpose? • What physical characteristic did the bearded man share with the female Five, Gabriel, and Jonas?
