Which is the theoretian and what does he do? Dunno if I've seen that one

The Engineer has to be in the engine room, or you don't get any benefit from him.

From the game:

Ability-Theoretician-Name=THEORETICIAN
Ability-Theoretician-Description=Required compartment: ANY ROOM|When it comes to fame and fortune a highly educated theoretician is most welcome among your crew. While he is on board, the entire crew will receive a strong boost to experience gained. You as captain will benefit from his work by getting a major bonus to renown.
