Leander

Leander
Leander is a 40 something human Alchemist with the Chirurgeon archtype. Though he survived the plague, he diseased ravaged and scarred his skin, giving him a very unsightly appearance. Because of this, he is near permanently clad in a long leather robe, gloves and a Doctors mask or plague mask to hide his face, and protect himself from diseases. Leander will sternly refuse to remove his mask when not in private, afraid what people might say when they see him.

He abandoned any form of religion or faith after losing his family, believing there can be no gods that will allow such things to happen. And wanting nothing to do with them even if they’d exist. He has little patience for religious preaching and will often mock the gods as he feels they have mocked him.

He travels the land, visiting disease ridden towns, and occasionally traveling along parties to act as a doctor.

History
Leander lived in a remote village named Summerburgh mostly untouched by the horrors that had befallen the kingdom. The villagers kept to themselves and saw few travellers and traders ever visit their village. When he was younger he studied as a physician in one of the nearby cities, but decided that city life wasn’t for him. He since moved to Summerburgh and ran a farm with his wife Elizabeth and his 3 children, and on occasion, when necessary, acted as doctor for the other villagers. When The Plague infected the villager, Leander lost his wife and childeren, and fell into despair for a time.

Determined not to let his wife’s death in vain, Leander decided to dedicate himself to fighting the plague that ruined his family, his village and his life. He joined the King’s man back to the capital, continuing his studies there to refine his knowledge. Afterwards, he travelled through the country determined to use his skills to drive back the plague.
