![]() Catherine rescued him, using special changes she had written into Riven's Descriptive Book as a distraction as well as a means of escape. ![]() Catherine provided the Age of Myst, which she claimed to have written, as a sanctuary for the two.Ītrus was captured during his attempt to enact their plan to imprison Gehn by burning all of the outbound Linking Books in the Age. Together, the developed a plan to put an end to Gehn's mad attempts to rebuild D'ni by stabilizing Riven and imprisoning him there forever.

While examining the odd, almost gravity-defying behavior of the Age's water in a pool, he nearly drowned before being rescued by several of the Rivenese natives. Having nowhere else to go, Atrus linked to Riven. In an effort to escape his prison, Atrus managed to collapse the alcove around the only door out.

They were not always successful, however an attempt to improve the soil of their garden resulted in him being poisoned by an unidentified chemical that he had introduced. She named him after her deceased husband, Aitrus.Ītrus' childhood was spent in the Cleft, at the base of a volcano, performing various scientific experiments and observations, most of them of a geological nature.
