Identity
One of the Shadow Edicts and a genius of engine craft. He appears to come from a family of artificers and was driven out for breaking one of their taboos — which is why he calls himself the Servant, a name that belittles him on purpose.
Work
He has built a great many remarkable engine devices, well beyond what this era should allow.
