Saturn Dolorem is a tall, vaguely gloomy half-elf with a pensive demeanor. He has dark, messy hair and pale-ish complexion, as well as slightly pointed ears that tell of his maternal
Mekim heritage. Banished from the esteemed hippocratic school he attended in Orthmar for his necromantic research, Saturn has continued to refine his understanding of this rare and powerful magic as a vagrant adventurer.
Saturn has a skeletal raven familiar whom he loves dearly. He is also an absolute fucking nerd, having been to NecroComicCon several times.

Appearance
Apparel & Accessories
Saturn frequently wears a long-snouted plague mask that mimics the appearance of a bird's face, bearing magical air-filtering herbs in the snout which grant him a +1 on Constitution checks when worn.
He also possesses an odd magical container universally referred to as the "Fanny Pack of Holding," which functions like a bag-of-holding albeit tied around the waist with the actual bag aligned in front of the stomach.
Special abilities
Saturn is an arcane magician, able to tap into the ambient magical energy of the mundane plane's ever-present leylines.
Mentality
Education
Saturn was self-taught for much of his childhood and adolescence. He attended a medical academy in the Empire of Orthmar for several years until his expulsion on the grounds of forbidden magic and malpractice. He continues to study both natural and arcane sciences when and where he can.
Intellectual Characteristics
Though not mentioned in character, Saturn's player Jason has suggested that he has savant syndrome, and displays characteristics of autism spectrum disorder.
Morality & Philosophy
Saturn's view on medical ethics is quite divergent from accepted medical practice when it comes to the subject of death. He views remains as vessels that have been emptied of their occupants and are now open to other use, including magical animation.
person.sexuality
Jason has expressed that he wishes to leave Saturn's sexual orientation ambiguous.
person.gender_identity
Male (he/him)
Personality
Motivation
Saturn truly wants to help others and save lives, but finds the methods of accepted medical practice unnecessarily confining and error-prone. Ergo, he resorts to necromantic magic to achieve his goals; an unorthodox and frequently frowned-upon route, but indisputably effective.
Social
Birthplace
Vaelheim, Skjorne (Mehraviil)
Contacts & Relations
Saturn is very close with Katita Fahari, as they have taken to traveling and working together. They have an almost sibling relationship, diligently looking out for each other.
He was also mentored by a mysterious necromancer named Tenebrous (a germane title), but it is unclear what the state of their communication is at present.
Family Ties
Saturn rarely mentions his family, as he's not fond of them. His father in particular was abusive towards him, which more often than not resulted in Saturn living by himself in the wilderness for weeks at a time.
