Excerpt from Secrets of Saumai
The slow clacking of boots on cobble echo near the top of the stairs just as Synna sends her warning. The ancient iron-reinforced door creeks upon as if oiled with molasses.
Out of the torchlight corridor steps the good Doctor. He is stepping backwards, not even turning about to notice the party in his hovel. A ragged gloved hand cusps the door and seals whatever poor corpse lay below to its fate.
A few twists of the wrist and a pair of solid locks bar the door closed. With the grim business out of the way he straightens. A shiver runs down his spine, shaking his mask too much like a bird just escaping a bath. The Doctor turns around, expecting no one but his apprentice.
He jumps in a fit of surprise at the trio of women now accompanying his apprentice.
Skree!
He stands as still as a statue, spooked, almost like the trio had caught him stealing from a gory cookie jar. His shoulders slump as he takes in the situation, at last, stepping forward to his apprentice. Standing next to his assistant, he peers at the trio through his eerie mask.
Overview
Crow is one of the two native-born on the Trundler. He serves as the
Trundler's doctor when he is not attempting to discover the entirety of his haunted past. He is a quiet and reclusive man. He only began to speak in more than a whisper several weeks after joining the rest of the crew.
Appearance
Crow appears as a lithe
BleakHeart; though not by choice. The young doctor had been exposed to malnourishment and difficult times his entire life. His skin is as white as the snow that blankets the land, and his eyes as red at blood. Crows build and facial features can be described as smooth, if not androgynous. Not many get too close of a look at his physical features, as he keeps himself covered and masked at almost all hours. His primary wear consists of gothic robes themed after the plague doctors of old.

The Town of Gorshi is where the crew found Crow. He appeared first as a quick and awkward doctor, with some sort of danger about him. Sellinus insured no one sat by him during the dinner.
Crow entertained Allarah, Ijin, and Synna while being offered to help with Laemon's injuries. He accepted the offer on good faith.
