Motteditor - if healing power is a big issue, then instead of Illa Ashshade, I might go with Joshua Bloodscream.
Joshua had the rare good luck to be born under the ministrations of the faithful of Irori, rather than somewhere he would immediately be murdered by the horrified midwife. As he grew up, Joshua considered joining Irori's clergy, but his interest was - gently - rebuffed.
The somewhat sullen Dhampir correctly surmised that this was due to his dark bloodline, and he left the monastery after paying final respects at his mother's grave. By and by, Joshua developed an interest for Brigh, the Whisper in the Bronze. It would not be entirely correct to say that he worships the goddess of creativity, science and technology; rather, he is a great admirer of the great inventions that have been made throughout history, carrying the mortal races out of ignorance and darkness and into the future, and he the fact that there is some entity that sponsors mortalkind's urge to advance. For her part, Brigh seems to appreciate Joshua's mindset enough that she has granted the Dhampir some small amount of her power, the better to allow him to assist those who would advance civilization and technology.
Joshua often goes to wild and savage places, the very frontiers of civilized lands, to lend a hand to those building new lives or defending the light of civilization against the threat of chaos and evil. Likewise, he is always eager to go to places of great learning. It has been his experience that great creativity can be found in either place, and anywhere keen minds seek to advance the cause of learning and science, there are bound to be forces eager to snuff them out. And that is where he comes in...
