Mergeojitsu

He arrived at Templehelm a scruffy, ragged man, somehow managing to create himself a small encampment. For a time, he worked with a young warrior to create a larger settlement which they named Ondruska Reach. This was the base of their investigations into the horrific monstrosity: Clara. A huge investigation took place over several years, leading them throughout the lands of Templehelm, but soon the two men broke apart after a fierce debate.

Mergeo was then taken hostage and tortured for his knowledge on Clara but, for currently unknown reasons, all knowledge gained since he reached Templehelm failed him. Some instincts, such as that of his rigorous training as a rogue, still remained, but all knowledge of the secrets of Clara escaped him. It is said that he could not even remember his own name.

After the second era occurred, he escaped from the lair in which he was tortured, still lacking knowledge, wounded and with only two words to guide him, carved into his hand. 'Secreta sapientiæ'.

Years of training in engineering taught him how to create traps, work mechanisms and operate on his body. He carved out the wounded part of his leg after years of medicine merely delayed the damage, and replaced it with a sheath mechanism. He finally decided upon his new name upon meeting the keeper of the book of secrets from his prior life. It is rumored he is currently searching for the truth about his past.

God help those who stand in his way...
