=== Background ===
''Sections of the following have been redacted to protect the innocent. [[Original character, do not steal]].''

The Professor was born in Nexus, and it was there that he was trained as a barber-chirurgeon. After some years in private practice he took a job teaching other such chirurgeons, splitting his time between the two.

He exalted in a back alley, trying to save ██████████ who had been savaged by a karmeus; his hands glowed with golden light and moved like lightning, but it was too late. After this, he slowly dropped out of the medical and academic life he had known up to then, working instead on solitary projects and trying to master the secrets of life and death. His experiments turned slowly into investigations of the darker side of Essence, and his apartment grew a reputation as a haunted house. Things came to a head with an incident involving a ████, two ██████s and the ████████, after which he was exiled. He managed to escape being executed since ███████████████████████. After this he set off to the south in search of a more hospitable base of operations.

Upon reaching Chiaroscuro, he set up a small medical practice to keep food on his plate. In his spare time, he set about finding ''volunteers'' for experiments, and exploring the city's First Age ruins in search of lost knowledge.

After having a dream containing vivid imagery of a grand, shining tower on a mountain peak, the Professor sought out the site, but found only a blasted ring of stone, the foundation of what might once have been such a tower, lacking even a roof. While frequent lightning in the area deterred others from approaching, it hasn't given the Professor any trouble.
