Back Story:

To Do No Harm. Four simple words, whose meaning when taken individually are insignificant. When taken together, they are a phrase used by the healers to submit themselves to an oath to help their fellow beings, be they commoner or noble, child hood friend or enemy. Often times, the line between healing and harming blurs, especially by those who seek to abuse those of this oath.

A middle child of a moderately well to do family, Ezekial Somrivatram was a brilliant student at the Andoren Alchemical Society as well as occasional visitor to the Almas University. An accomplished alchemist and budding doctor, Ezekial was part of a fraternity the two universities shared, one that sponsored safaris, hunts, and expeditions to various parts of the world. Seeking to expand his knowledge as well as his skills as a field doctor.

It was during these trips that he came to a simple solution; as an alchemist and a doctor, his job was the most boring at times and the most intense. As such, he took to cooking while on these expeditions, reasoning that if he wasn't being used for his medical skills, he might as well be useful for his culinary. In addition, Ezekial is studying the use of the crossbow. While not a great shot, he has worked on extractions that will help his skills nonetheless. As time went on, he also became an invited guest to several academic parties, trading stories on the expeditions he was part of, and the stories of his medical experiences in the field.

After two years and several expeditions, Ezekial felt that he saw it all. Despite his young age, he has mended bones, healed scraps, cleaned infections, removed barbs, arrows, and spears from fellow adventurers, and seen the after affects of several diseases. With such field experience, he was on the verge of becoming a rising star in the alchemical and medical science world. But nothing prepared him for betrayal and political intrigue.

One of the staunch abolitionists of Andoran wanted an experienced field doctor. The abolitionist's travels were around the world, from Mwangi to Lastwall, and an experienced doctor would be a welcome addition.

Unfortunately, the expedition faced numerous hardships along the way, and it didn't help that several would be rulers just paid lip service to the abolitionist. Between Cheliax, Nidal, and the various factions wishing to keep Andoran out of their business, the expedition suffered several hardships.

It was on their way through the Shrikewood befell the expedition. While well guarded, the expedition was attacked by a large group of bandits in the area. During this attack, the abolitionist was injured when a stray bolt hit the man. No sooner was the abolitionist was hit than a squad of Molthune rangers arrived, helping drive off the bandits.

Unfortunately, the troubles didn't end for the expedition. Once Ezekial treated the abolitionist, the man died from an apparent allergic reaction to the medicine. An investigation revealed that the abolitionist was poisoned using three different substance; a common medical herb, an unactivated substance on the projectile, and a third ingested ingredient. This last ingredient was benign unless imbibed by a person, and was lethal when mixed with the two other substances in the man's blood stream.

Suspicious, Ezekial went to the expedition leader. Unfortunately, with little evidence to go, the expedition leader didn't investigate it much further. The order was for sent out for the expedition to go to Canorate to deliver correspondence between the Andoran government and the Imperial Governor. Fortunately, the evidence soon appeared...

A day after the attack, the expedition and the ranger squad were attacked again. This time, Ezekial and the guards spotted a hooded assassin, who fired upon the expedition leader. Though the leader was hit, the arrow failed to pierce the armor. Realizing the ruse was discovered, the assassin fired another arrow at one of the guides and fled, leaving the bandits to their fates.

As the guide lay dying, a search revealed the third substance one that acted as a catalyst that killed the abolitionist. Realizing that the expedition was still in danger, the expedition leader, the Molthune commander, a few trusted guards, and Ezekial quickly rode to Canorate.

Once the rest of expedition was in Canorate, Ezekial was released from his post and given his pay. Hearing of the construction in Braganza, Ezekial is heading there to seek out his fortune.

Personality: A young, kind hearted, and soft spoken man, Ezekial seeks to heal the world, but wishes to find out who caused the downfall of his life. Driven to this end, he knows that a quick smile and an open ear can help him, and enjoys trading stories while cooking. He worships both Pharasma and Sarenrae, for both Goddesses have a keen interest in healing, and offers prayers to both in good and bad times. Like most Andorans, Ezekial has taken a dim view to slavery and on more than one occasion refused to go on an expedition that uses slaves.

Description: Of average height and slight build, Ezekial would be more at place in a university than in the field. His black hair kept short, his slightly tanned skin is unscarred, whether by luck or by the gods. He likes the more cosmopolitan clothes that are of use in the field.
