Inganno Asklepios

Inganno Asklepios was a human physician from Equis who was heavily involved in the events of Shadowborn.

Description
Inganno was a pasty middle-aged human male with deep-set worrying eyes, and a balding head. He was rarely seen without a bloodstained apron, which was not known to inspire confidence in his patients.

Personality
An eternal worrier and coward, Inganno was more prone to flee a difficult situation than fight. Still, he had notions of loyalty and remained with his party until the end.

Abilities
Despite his reputation for cowardice and self-serving, Inganno was actually a talented physician. He was a very capable surgeon, and could even apply many medical techniques rapidly on the field of battle.

If forced into combat, Inganno wielded a scalpel, and if possible he would carefully examine his enemies before attacking. This allowed him to get a sense of his opponent's anatomy and make very precise cuts to deal the most damage with the least effort.

Inganno also gained the Immortal power from the death of Cerielle, as did Gaius Kvath. He used this power to aid in killing Radomir Vlasak, who was possessed by Trath, although it ultimately destroyed Inganno.

Possessions
Inganno carried a medical kit with him, in addition to his scalpel and bloodstained apron.

History
Inganno was born somewhere in the Leviathan Bay region of Equis, believed to be some small village in that area. It is not known where he received his medical training, but it is clear that his teachers did not instill in him the code of ethics typically associated with physicians: Inganno was eventually arrested for malpractice on a nobleman, captured by a bounty hunter named Generous Gerry.

Gerry was intercepted by Gaius Kvath and Tonakh on his way to turning Inganno in, and Inganno was freed from captivity. He traveled with them from then on, through their journey to find the Grey Fulcrum and charge it, up to where Tonakh, the designated spear-bearer, was killed by an angel in the Brilliant Sanctum. Inganno was then made the spear-bearer, and went with Gaius to his "surrender" to Cerielle, where Inganno used the spear to kill the Immortal of light.

Both he and Gaius had prismatic cloaks, and used them to absorb the magical explosion of light resulting from her death, granting them extraordinary but temporary power. With Gaius, Inganno teleported to Garaam Varask, where they killed Radomir Vlasak (possessed by Trath), but Inganno's body was destroyed by his own power when attempted to join Gaius in the Dark Beacon.
