My Story:

Cunning Linguist was a child prodigy whose ambition outweighed his experience. He had a terrible mishap with one of his experiments and many people were killed. He has felt guilt and tried to atone by sharing his knowledge with others. This in turn has made him valued and secured a relatively safe spot in the hierarchy of the world. He tries to manipulate the evil and stupid people of the world to make things better in the hopes of life returning to the way it was before civilization collapsed.
