The ageing Printmaster-General of the settlement, Atada maintains the settlement's single Scheduled printer. Although Sokhanua usually takes the role of Facilitator and therefore in many ways is the de facto leader, Atada is a widely-respected elder.

Atada Hari is the current Printmaster-General, having stood his post for more than a hundred years. He maintains the single aging scheduled printer on Nuavaao, and is one of the oldest Nuavaaii, having survived both Cataclysms. Athough Facilitator Sokhanua continues to maintain the The Committee, Atada is regarded by most to be the real center of gravity. Despite his rank, which might afford him a more comfortable residence, he resides humbly in the Shambles.
