Charles Fawkeswas an alchemist from the Southlands sent on a life journey by his order to explore the lands of the Arch Duke and spread his talents while seeking knowledge which the strange lands could hold. He was a reclusive type, but pleasant enough company, and could have been handsome if not for the scars on the right side of his face and body and the strain in his voice left by a close call with plague in his youth.
Charles had been a sickly child growing up after his village was overtaken by a plague. It had left its mark on him, but he had been one of the few survivors and had been taken in by the order of Plague Doctors tending to the ill who had taught him alchemy and brewing. He had been a survivor of the plague and therefore was considered immune, making him a valued doctor to the order.
Upon the death of his mentor, he had been given the honored task of a life journey to explore the north and discover what secrets it might hold and minister the people with his abilities. He was young and eager to commit himself to his mentor's dying wish and wanted to honor his memory by spreading his skills across the lands for the benefit of all, and if a disease should ever show itself, offer the comfort only his god could.
