Short-order chef turned consumption mage. A relatively slim man who appears to be in his late thirties: formerly avuncular, enthusiastic, vital and assertive. Inexplicably fond of baked goods. Sometimes prone to fantasy. Intermittently an ooze.

(After Strenuous Objections)

Batts' skin is covered in a layer of bone, calloused nodules visible where he has been flayed over the course of Dammerung's experiments. His personality has taken a turn for the silent and stoic, there is a great untapped seam of rage and sorrow running through his very marrow.

(After Anomalous Materials)

Batts wakes up.

Batts is more spacey than usual, and seems to have developed a sudden interest in local history, stalking the taverns of Acryn, where he listens intently to the stories of old heroes and local characters, lapping up their words with a fervor that is, at times, unsettling.

On the plus side, he seems a lot more cheerful lately.
