Discovered by and initiated into the Adeptus Mechanicus at an early age, Ervyntar slowly ascended through the ranks of scholars, delving into his studies with an obsessive zeal.  He was especially interested in the secrets of archaeotechnology, often spending entire days and nights researching their mysteries.  Unfortunately, his passion for forbidden lore led him down a path that alarmed several of those among the Adeptus Mechanicus' higher echelon, prompting Ervyntar to leave on a prolonged "research mission."

During his quest, he collected many valuable pieces of information and technology, oftentimes through less than approved means.  However, his curiosity and insatiable lust for knowledge of the arcane brought a litany of misfortune upon him.  Rarely did a vessel upon which he embarked return without a tale of some dire battle with viscous xenos or horrible mishaps in the Warp.  Often as not, most of the original crew would be replaced by the time they returned, and those who had survived the entire trip told stories that smote fear into even the stoutest man's soul.

As a result, Ervyntar now finds himself stranded on one of the Lathe worlds, an unwelcome passenger aboard most void-farers.  For four years, now, he has been unable to find a brave captain who would have the power and be willing to take him to the far reaches of the galaxy, where many untold treasures of ancient knowledge await…

Wears the typical rust-red robes of his order with a matching hood, which mostly overshadows his features, making anything above the lower portion of his respirator-mask hard to distinguish.  Underneath his robes he wears a black Enforcer Light Carapce just about everywhere, with the Mechanicus's symbol engraved in the same rust-red colour on the chest-plate.  Always carries his Hellgun under his cloak on the right hip, being left-handed, where it can be drawn easily should the need arise to use it.  Often, while walking about, he will carry his Shock Staff with him as a walking stick.  His heirloom Angevin chain sword is mainly worn only when he feels he will have need of it, though he will sometimes opt to bear it in leu of the staff on more formal occasions.

His eyes glitter from under the hood, cold and calculating, examining everything to a nicety; humans, machinery, surroundings, etc.  His intellect and intuition has gotten him this far and are the only things he truly relies upon.  He even views his Servo-Skull warily, though it is the only thing close to a lifeform with which he is on somewhat intimate terms.

*** Heavy, gunmetal-grey battle armour, acquired as payment for a favour from someone in the Mechanicus.  Used only in situations where force is anticipated beforehand, due to the time limit imposed by the power requirements.  It is somewhat old, but serves its purpose well and without a fuss.
