Immless Gripplen grew up in a small family that, like so many of the Gnomish variety, didn't last long. Having been raised by a whole community of gnomes it was neither surprising nor earth shattering when both of his parents ran off to pursue adventure.
Immless himself didn't stay long in the community. before his tenth summer he had run off during a festival and snuck into a travelers wagon. He found himself in Sandport some days later; though the wagon driver himself was somewhat put out at Immless' discovery, no one was concerned enough about it to send him back.
During a long apprenticeship with the local alchemist, Immless proved to be quite talented at the art. He read all he could about anything and everything; eventually coming upon a reference to The Bleaching. He was instantly fascinated, and began researching it feverishly.
A year later, Immless had learned most of what he could from the old man, and was admitted into another apprenticeship in Cheliax, to a noted Alchemist now living in Korvosa. This new benefactor taught Immless much about anatomy, and he began to learn the healing arts as well.
Having finished his training, Immless began to travel the countryside, selling his wares and his skill with a surgeons knife. The endless changing of the seasons, roads and people suits the young Gnome perfectly, and all the while he continues his research into the bleaching, wondering if there isn't some way to control the transformation through alchemy...
