~Personality~

Generally amiable and pleasant. Merlyn is an intelligent individual with his own private set of motives; power and command being one less hidden.

Whether he is serving you or himself is not always obvious.

Living in a supersticious, at many times extremist, society has taken its toll on his respect for his fellow men and soldiers. He does not like having to keep close mouthed about his own beliefs and retreats into his private pursuits (namely chemistry) when faced with having to hold back.

~Items~

A fine set of glass tubes, jars, mats, burners, tongs, tools and refined powders constitutes Merlyn's chemistry set. He keeps the entire array in a back pack that he constructed for the purpose. It jangles a bit, but nothing breaks.

Merlyn carries two swords; one heavy and short, one long and light.

He is quite profficient with them. He fancies the crossbow, but never learned to use one.

~History~

Merlyn Avogadro was born in Carta Rise, an isolated village built among the cliffs. The community openly supported the Loom rebellion, and as expected, Merlyn joined the Looms at age 16. A working knowledge of chemistry, taught him by his father, and his literacy served him well.

Despite his insubordinate nature, he climbed to Lieutennant by 19, but deserted shortly after the promotion.

Hiding his past, and claiming to be from a recently destroyed Confederate town known as Lectipass, Merlyn joined the ranks of the Confederate army within two months of leaving the Looms. He was promoted within the year.
