Earndil's Rotgrind Character Art: Baldric Weathers (Patreon)

Years upon years of education, a knack for alchemical brilliance, and a good reputation within his tightly knit community in Outset. These were the things Baldric felt hurt him the worst when he was unfairly implicated in a horrendous crime, for which he was not responsible. All his efforts, torched like a rice-paper banner over a brazier. Baldric was a patsy, a disposable citizen of the decaying city whom the Tyrants' Guild needed to cover up their prodigious corruption. Unlike most however, Baldric wasn't going to take this mistreatment sitting down.

Now Baldric leads his one-man crusade to burn the government corruption from the heart of Outset. Though he knows not what to replace it with, that is not his concern, he is simply weedkiller. To him, there can be no half-measures when rooting out corruption, no consideration to the stability of the broken system surrounding it, and no quarter to those who would violate the sanctity and safety of any one person. Despite this grim aura, he remains as affable as possible to his allies, and righteously indignant as possible to his enemies, though determining which is which at any given moment his hard, on account of his seemingly permanent monotone cadence.
