&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Professor John Hicks (Hix)&#039;&#039;&#039; is currently the Head of the [[Department of Post-Mortem Communications]] at [[Unseen University]]. Not, it &#039;&#039;must&#039;&#039; be stressed, a [[Necromancy|Necromancer]] - gods, no! No, they just communicate with those, such as Professor [[Flead]] who have passed on to join the great majority. Nothing disturbing about that, eh? What? The fading letters on the door - &amp;quot;NEC..M....&amp;quot;? Just coincidence.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He is also a leading member of the [[Dolly Sisters Players]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hicks plays a semi-pivotal role in {{MM}}, helping [[Moist von Lipwig]] and [[Adora Belle Dearheart]] work out how to communicate with the [[Umnian Golems]] through Professor Flead. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A much put-upon [[Wizard]], Hicks has to bribe his post-graduate students into helping him perform an [[Insorcism]] on Flead.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As of {{UA}}, John Hicks spells his name Hix because an evil (by University statute) wizard can&#039;t pass up an opportunity to have an x in his name.&lt;br /&gt;
It is also revealed he is allowed to act &amp;quot;evil&amp;quot; and break the rules &amp;quot;within college statutes&amp;quot;, apparently all this is done in the basis that the [[Archchancellor]] can trust Hix to be untrustworthy.&lt;br /&gt;
