Felix Nimbledigit was born and raised in a fortress town of Aramor, making a decent living selling crusaders potions and trinkets from exploring the technological ruins of his homeland. From the outset of his alchemy career, he experimented with strange substances, specimens, and equipment scavenged from his explorations.

One day, while searching for scrap and samples from a newly discovered ruin, Felix accidentally opened a canister of bizarre alien parasites. While he escaped with his life, one managed to attach itself to the poor gnome. The resulting infestation began to ravage Felix with a transformative disease he still struggles to understand. Faced with the growing horror of his condition, he eventually fled his village to save himself the embarrassment of the physical changes it wrought on his body.

Turning south, Felix skirted the major power centers controlled by the Technic League, taking care to examine any technological ruins encountered along the way--all in an effort to determine the origin and purpose of the parasite growing inside him. During this time, he began to manifest strange, new abilities--sometimes unintentionally activating them to defend himself from predators and bandits alike. Chief among them is an aberrant tumor capable of separating from his body, a bat-like creature with which he shares a symbiotic relationship. He eventually named this unorthodox companions Oturu, and he can sense it trying to communicate with him as it grows in intelligence. But he also loses a little more of himself as it does.

Felix keeps himself covered at all times, wearing a long, black robe, boots, and gloves. Even his head is kept hidden within a heavy hooded cloak with his mouth and nose covered by a dark, silk scarf. Absent these garments, his skin has a sickly, ghoulish pallor—signs of an obvious, if misunderstood, infection. His hair has long since fallen away, but his eyes remain a startling, piercing blue. He stands 3 feet, 6 inches tall and weighs 42 lbs, wielding an iron shod quarterstaff and a curved dagger. At 40 years old, he still has a young, healthy body, even if it continues to grow and change in ways he can’t yet comprehend.

Along with the more radical changes to his physiology, Felix manifests an undeniably impressive intellect. He can literally perceive an overlay of alien, mathematical equations attributed to the creatures, objects, and terrain within his gaze. And, though he struggles to process this information, it often guides his perception of the world and those around him. He remains considerably self-conscious about his appearance and unnerving nature, taking great strides to cover himself and avoid the stares, fears, and questions of those he encounters. Even among his adventuring companions, he works hard to keep his condition hidden, afraid it’ll cost him their friendship if they ever learn the truth.

Despite this, Felix packs an incredible amount of infectious enthusiasm in his zeal for life. All manner of uncataloged plants, creatures, rocks, and technological items and inventions capture his interest, and he shifts from topic to topic while discussing these subjects so quickly it’s hard for others to follow his train of thought. Nevertheless, Felix is exceptionally bright, considerate, and innovative. His contraptions and herbal remedies prove trustworthy time and time again. Yet, his greatest obsession is collecting unusual specimens of oozes, insects, and animals, all of which he shrinks down so he can preserve them for further study and contemplation. He keeps them within small, glass bottles among his possessions and sometimes carries on imaginary conversations with them, leading others to question his sanity. Ultimately, he hopes to find a cure for his condition.
