Background:
Like many gnomes, Eizzach Bitterbalm's driving force in life was to keep himself constantly stimulated by new experiences in order to stave off the Bleaching that afflicts their race. So it was that his family thought little of it when he decided to leave his Varisian home of Whistledown at a young age to go out and see what the world had to offer. During his hundred-plus years of existence he has visited nearly a third the major cities in Avistan and Garund, accompanied several adventuring groups, and even spent some time in the military.

During these excursions Eizzach found he had a natural talent for healing, an interest he nurtured through stints serving in medical colleges, temples, and in the thick of combat. Although he nominally turns his devotions to Sarenrae and those celestial beings concerned with healing, Eizzach's abilities were rooted firmly in his precise and analytical mind rather than in any deep spiritualism, and with his keen intellect and deft hands he excelled in both the arts of alchemy and chirurgery.

To that end the gnome has intermittently worked as both a traveling healer, a guest lecturer, and an established chirurgeon and apothecary. Every few years when his wanderlust strikes him again, Eizzach closes up shop, sells off his possessions, and travels as far as his funds will take him. Recently he just finished an extended journey through the pirate-infested islands of the Shackles, and having had his fill of all that he's decided to put his recent acquirement of Polyglot to use in Sargava. So it went that he purchased passage on the Jenivere and is currently cooling his heels on deck, looking eagerly forward to what new challenges and opportunities the jungle has in store for him.

Appearance:
Eizzach stands at a little over 3 feet tall and just under 40 pounds. His hair and beard are golden yellow but have turned white a third of the way from the roots. A pair of wire-rimmed spectacles sit on the bridge of a hawkish nose, framing a stern set of large amber-colored eyes lined with age. A brown longcoat drapes over studded leather armor, and a bulging satchel of ointments, drugs, bandages, herbal concoctions, and surgical tools hangs from his hip, held on by a pocket and vial-studded bandolier; the persistent odor of herbs and medicine surrounds him wherever he goes. The gnome is gruff and taciturn but kind-hearted, always willing to work out a price for his services depending on a person's ability to pay and severity of need. When given a task, he tends to be so distracted on the details of what he is currently concentrating on that he misses out on new information until it is right in front of his face.
