Seamus
Director of the Emerald Watch
Seamus August McBlair is an unassuming-looking human man, with curly red hair and a scruffy goatee. He is sharp-tongued, irreverent, and surprisingly intelligent. His thirst for knowledge drove him to become one of the most celebrated Artificers in Aetherius, and he was quickly snapped up by King Julius as Court Artificer of Tide’s End. Through his creations, Tide’s End flourished, and the kingdom prospered.
Seamus always wanted to do more for the world, and this drove him to create the Emerald Watch, a company of lawful-good mercenaries that would travel and right wrongs wherever possible. Though not much of a fighter himself, Seamus’ creations helped keep his people safe, allowing him to help multiple bands of mercenaries at once. This ended up consuming most of his time, so he left the court of King Rummond, Julius’ heir, to dedicate more of himself to the Watch.
Before fully divesting himself of the Tide’s End Court, Seamus finished work on his greatest creations: Two Warforged - One named Keeper, who would assist him with record-keeping at the Tide’s End branch of the Emerald Watch to allow himself to spend more time away from the city, and one named A.I.R.J.A, built as a companion for the young Princess Ayla, who Seamus loved as dearly as if she were his own flesh and blood.
Once Tide’s End was attacked by Ysimer and his cult, Seamus returned and found A.I.R.J.A gravely wounded and Targe in a state of despondence. After doing his best to repair Airja, Seamus was told about the attack, and the sacrifice made by Ayla and Rummond. He warned Airja to keep the details quiet from all except those most trustworthy, and set out to find a way to remove Ysimer’s influence from Aetherius.
With the help of Cicely, whom he rescued from the Cult, he is attempting to find a way to sever Ysimer’s connection to the Material Plane.
