Who is Eoung-Ashokh Mardiross from Meetings with Remarkable Men and what is their importance?

Eoung-Ashokh Mardiross is a half-witted man who gives psychic readings. Gurdjieff's aunt is impressed with the accuracy of the predictions and warns her nephew to be careful around firearms, as this is one of the predictions. Gurdjieff becomes interested in the psychic after he is injured by gunshot while duck hunting. Mardiross gives him a reading, much of which eventually comes true in Gurdjieff's life. This is one of the early experiences that sparks the interest in spirituality for Gurdjieff.
