Aramis Ashvale

Aramis Ashvale is an NPC operating out of Prima Castra, in Venefice. They are currently the Head Engineer of the Sable Church, filling a position previously held by Aramis' father. Aramis is currently in possession of an artifact, the arcane animator.

Personality
Aramis' defining characteristic is their intelligence. Aramis is responsible for the design of the V-Rail in Venefice, a project they undertook as a child. They love to tinker with machinery and automation, and has even introduced a few motorized wagons to the city. Aramis also holds a teaching position at the College of Aracanos, something they did to honor the wishes of their father. Additionally, they are also responsible for the creation of arcsteel, an artificial metal that serves as an arcane conduit not unlike Ichorstone or Noirstone. Aramis' family comes from a long line of church-sponsored wealth, so they are accustomed to the cushy lifestyle of living on the Ashvale estate which effectively spans half an island. Their right arm is disfigured in some manner, but the disability is obscured by an anatomically correct metal gauntlet that moves and functions like a real flesh-and-blood arm.

Aramis reached out to The Party upon their arrival in Venefice since they recognized Belthezar from a celebration years prior. After shenanigans ensued, Aramis partially helped them escape imprisonment and contracted The Party to investigate the disappearance of their father, Artis Ashvale.

Aramis uses they/them pronouns when they refer to themselves.
