Hector Varnick was part of a renowned back-alley medical practice with his partner in 'crime' Lenithal Fesk, the two would regularly patch up goons, gangers, and the occasional ruffian after their scraps in the mutagen splattered undercity of Zagrine. His partner Fesk handled the healing of the biological body and where blood and bone was concerned, Varnick worked on grafts and technology meant to stabilize mutations or provide the strength and certainty of steel.
Hector claims to come in search of knowledge to cure an ailment of his own that neither of the two were able to solve, but surely the bright minds of First Landing, as well as the resource rich continent with all sorts of new discoveries to be made would provide the answers he sought.
Sporting a dangerous, but oversized mechanical arm with various alchemical injectors, Hector himself is skittish and aims to please those around him. Using his crafting knowledge to aid those in the guild. Behind the practiced mind of a scholar and inventor however hides something darker and far removed from civilized men.
