“See, I told you it would all work out for the best in the end.”

A self-professed jack-of-all-trades, of no fixed address, occupation, or name. Remarkably upbeat for someone who seems to make up plans as he goes along. Frequent denigration for his unique problem-solving style has given him some amount of contempt for do-gooding adventures.

As of The Tower of Ceciline, he has become part of the 'Hive of the Perfect Form', making his appearance that of a polished silver statue.

As of A Shore Thing, he has become undead due to the meddling of an annoying wizard, making his appearance that of a polished silver skeleton statue. Wanted posters for 'Felix' the silver skeleton have also appeared in Acryn.

As of Matters of Trade, he has the Divine Favour of Francesco Graves, The Arcane Arbiter.

As of Shattered Futures, he has the Divine Favours of Howard Branch, The Splintered Man, and Jimmy Hoskins, He Who Devours Himself. Additionally, Jimmy Hoskins has made his problems with the Acryn City Watch disappear - the wanted posters are now gone and all charges are dropped. In return, the two have formed a working relationship of sorts. Who knows what great things this will lead to…

As of Perfection Marred, he has become an associate member of the Brotherhood of the Closed Eye, and has become somewhat distrustful of wizards in general. He feels bad for being responsible for bringing Glassinger back to life, and thus duty-bound to stop him from destroying the world. And hey, if he kills some wizards for the Brotherhood, maybe they'll give him some cool alchemy…

• Alchemical Manipulation: Once per adventure, GM discretion long-term benefit, in exchange for a special permanent level 3 addiction. See Journeyman page for full details.

Addictions:

• Grenado Level 3
  • Withdrawal: You constantly feel near-painfully cold. You are also incredibly flammable. At GM discretion, anything that might plausibly ignite you does, for damage and effect calls as they see fit.
  • Indulgence: You can ignite parts of your body, doing no harm to yourself, but harming others nearby. Gain 2 uses of REND on a weapon call, and one MASS ZERO STRIKEDOWN for the encounter. As long as you are in the presence of a burning fire, you feel safe and re-assured.
• Armour Oil Level 3
  • Withdrawal: You are swinging between bouts of paranoia, narcolepsy, alcoholic cravings, violent aggression, and chronic muscle pains. When not roleplaying one of these effects you are weakened.
  • Indulgence: While applying the armour oil (at least 5 seconds) you are drowsy and virtually comatose, paying no heed to outside experience. When you come round you feel an extraordinary rush of pleasure, more enjoyable than any other experience you have known. You are STRENGTHENED for the duration of the encounter.

Alchemical Manipulations:

• Resistant to soul-altering poisons (Soul Strength). [Pending debrief of that adventure.]
  • Withdrawal: You feel a general hatred for other conscious beings. You would prefer to be alone, or at least not surround by idiots (like you currently are). You are WEAKENED whenever you are attempting to aid someone else.
  • Indulgence: You feel love for your fellow conscious beings and are very happy to be able to spend time with them. You gain +1 damage when attempting to aid someone else.

Other behaviours:

• Does not bleed out (Undeath)
• Hungers for the flesh of the living, preferably humans; at GM's call once per adventure this becomes insatiable, unless perhaps voluntarily sated previously (Undeath)
• May use (but not manually repair) any armour without use skill (Begone the Flesh)
• Immune to most natural poisons and diseases, although magical effects may still influence (Begone the Flesh)
• Ignore THROUGH part of damage calls (Begone the Flesh)
• IMMUNE HEAL (Begone the Flesh)
• May substitute HEAL with RENEW when working on members of the Hive of the Perfect Form (Begone the Flesh)

Standard Potion Slots (class C/D requires 1, class A/B requires 2): 15 = 6 (Base) + 9 (Advanced Mixing x3) Additional Potion Slots: B = 2, C = 2, D = 1

Has gained a limited understanding of the alchemy of motion. Although the precise workings of the technique are unclear and it's obviously not alchemy as it's normally understood using this knowledge he is able to distil an elixir that provides mechanisms with 'motion'. They are not alive and do not have intelligence but can perform the task they were designed to do. He can produce enough of the strange glowing elixir to animate one creation per adventure at a cost of 41 riels worth of esoteric components.
