Wallace

Wallace was a gnome dedicated to Sulligan. He met the party while on watch, staring at them with a mouthful of powder and unblinking eyes. Serving as the sentinel of the gnomes and of the party while he traveled with them, Wallace did little more than look at things. He did not participate in combat if given the choice, instead looking on, concentrating on scenes of interest that passed by before him. Constant awareness imbued him with a desire for viewing activity, something the party granted him in abundant supply, at least until Tessalie killed him in the aftermath of Odeslani.

Wallace was originally an alchemist's apprentice in Mashalea, learning well the properties of plants and their byproducts. He stumbled upon an unfortunately effective combination of ingredients while studying on his own, and after huffing, inhaling, or snorting all he could, was never the same. The change was not welcome in the town, as he was unable to concentrate long enough to learn any formuli or support himself, and he left Mashalea soon after. His expertise in gathering plants aided both him and Catrina in their efforts, and his competence with mixing powders created enough stimulus to keep him pacified most of the time.
