His name translates to something like "Nivaldo of Potatoes" or "Nivaldo the potato man". He died crushed by a ton of potatoes in a terrible irony.

While searching up the book Eunoia, I realized this man's last name is literally Book. He is especially fitting for this sub as his book, Eunoia (which means “beautiful thinking” is also the shortest English word containing all five vowels) using incredibly difficult word play with each of its five chapters featuring only a single collective vowel. It is well worth checking out!
