Utah Smith

Doctor Utah Smith

Utah was raised in the Unversity alongside Waldo who always acted as an older brother to him. This was until later in life when they became bitter academic rivals. Lacking Waldo's magical prowess, Utah instead became a skilled and studious archeologist and leading expert in the ancient Thesserans. He led digs accross the Empire to better understand their ancient enemy.
Finally, Utah had the opportunity to sail East to seek out Thessera and the fabled book of Sseth that he believed would save he and Waldo's father figure, Professor Descitus.
The party came upon Utah in Tebukai and joined him on an expedition into the desert where he was finally betrayed/saved by Waldo and left in the care of the Hureg.
Utah returned to the ship when Waldo disappeared. He chose to remain on the ship when he started a romantic relationship with Sorqaqtani.
