--------------------
Ulysses Cogkettle has been fascinated by chemistry for as long as he can remember. Morbidly so. Some gnomes travel; others study; others learn magic. Ulysses blows stuff up.

Sometimes the stuff that Ulysses blows up is Ulysses. His body is covered in shrapnel and burn scars. He has grown to fear the very thing that staves off his Bleaching, but the fear rarely prevents him from continuing to tinker and experiment.

Several years ago, the Pharaoh put out a call for adventurers to explore the tombs of Wati's necropolis. For the first time in his life, Ulysses felt the lure of potential knowledge that does not involve fire. He spent the next few months studying what was written about the tombs and determined he would need two things if he were to answer the Pharaoh's call: a trap breaker and an undead slayer. He was too small and weak to be the latter so he spent years studying ways to apply his alchemical knowledge toward the former.

Now he is ready. He sold just about everything he owned and spent the proceeds on Melech's retainer fee. They have spent the past month training together, preparing themselves for the trials to come.
