Kylax

Kylax, Head Surgeon & Alchemist
Kylax is a fiend-touched ratfolk, his tiefling heritage clear in his scaled patches and twisted horns. He cares none for the personal appearance or presentation of himself or others, and typically is caked with dirt and mud, placing far more trust in alchemical treatments than sterile environments. While obviously fluent in English, his origin is unknown, his loyalty not resting with England, but rather serving his own purposes.

Kylax has come to the New World to study new creatures, new flora, and new diseases. His alchemical concoctions are focused around medical treatment, preservation, and transmutations. While he is short in stature, and untrained with weaponry, he is at all times accompanied by a partially dead half orc known as Stone, kept animate by twisted alchemical means. While the camp is unnerved by Kylax and Stone, they welcome Kylax's treatments of disease and injury, and Kylax is happy to have a place far from legal repercussions, and secure site to conduct experiments on captured or deceased natives. While not an arcanist himself, Kylax is the most knowledgeable in Cragwater about the subject of the Arcana. He very rarely leaves Cragwater, instead having supplies, bodies, and information brought back to him at his operating tent.
