Dr. Banneker
Gideon Banneker
Dr. Gideon Banneker was the lead artificer in charge of researching the recent migration away from Carrion. Hired by the Merchant Alliance concerning lack of trade, Dr. Banneker traveled alongside a small group of mercenaries in hopes of restoring supply routes between Carrion and the Midland traders. What he found was more than a simple logistics issue. Undead had been swarming the Underdark for weeks followed by a mysterious disease plaguing the citizens of Carrion. Finding Carrion's citizens struggling to maintain themselves against the hordes as well as an unknowable disease, Dr. Banneker set up shop and began fortifying the city against anything that could come its way. As skilled in Alchemy as he was in Engineering he spent what free time he had researching the disease in fervor, knowing well that he would soon contract it due to exposure.
