Cadmus's Links
A renowned doctor and his lowly student... Naive as it seems, Cadmus believes Mercury might one day find it in his heart to teach Cadmus a thing or two about being a surgeon. Sure, he's pretty much set in his ways as a gravekeeper as it's the easiest way to manage his restless souls, but... He can have dreams too, can't he?
A mad doctor and his wretch of a student, but his position as the gravekeeper of the Churchyard proves useful is enough to be kept around the surgeon with a consistent supply of bodies for study, keeping him pleased.
A quiet cemetery is better company than a screaming prisoner, but... Cadmus has very little leeway to stand up for himself in the world of the Church. He's a bottom-feeder for bottom-feeders, a pity pick-up... So he sucks air through his beak, exhales, and tells Raker he's doing a wonderful job and how clever of a scholar he is.
Raker is Mercury’s best friend, but he sometimes questions the company he keeps around and the ward he’s taken responsibility for. Where did Mercury even find this young man, his doorstep?
