Gunter Hausman

"Yes, I'm doing INSERT 526 OVER 356 fine, just been 531 busy lately,"

Gunter is a short, slight unlicensed alchemist with a mechanical eyepiece over one eye who wears a heavy cloak and has a generally sickly, distracted air about him, although he has helped the party with various arcane issues in the past.

Gunter Hausmann was born to a banking family, but being 7th child of the 7th child of the 7th child, he developed arcane powerful abilities at a young age. Unfortunately this clashed with his family traditions, and he ran away and enrolled in Unnecessary Academy. After graduating, he became an alchemist, doing radical, unlicensed experiments, often on living things. After a while, his focus fixated on his own body, and it became apparent that he was dying- he created a primitive rig of healing potions, and soon established himself as an expert on healing alchemy, using most of his potions on his own body. The details behind his terminal illness are unknown, but many of his colleagues suspect it is due to his constant self experimentation.

Gunter was largely responsible for developing the divination magic that the crystal networks used. He was unfamiliar with the crystals themselves, but after Glimmerel was killed, he hired a small staff to install the crystal surveillance network in other cities.

He now acts as coordinator for the various norther bases for the Ur Resistance, although he does so remotely, using crystal technology.

He has a number of strange mannerisms, although the most notable is his sudden interjection of numbers and equations into his speech, which can make conversing with him difficult. He's explained that it's his eyepiece that's responsible, although beyond that he hasn't clarified. He also has a flesh golem roommate, and lives in a tower that doesn't appear to have a door, but the inside has the appearance of a cluttered lab.

Gunter now resides in an apartment near Autumn High Memory land, and works in their engineering department.
