Wes Easton

Order of Enlightenment Description: A remnant of the Mechanical Society, a group that once pursued the advancement of human society through the fusion of Gyfts and machines, only to be crushed once they stepped upon the toes of too many competing gangs who both coveted the technology and did not wish to see their own monopolies in violence be diminished. Wes possesses only a portion of such knowledge, his own Gyft 'grafted' onto him by of the Professors of that now-extinguished circle of academics. A man of few words, if only because of his amateurish prosthetic head, he is an adherent of the Order's beliefs, having understood that it was not the flesh that made men weak, but their minds. Even if you eliminated hunger, even if there was no resource scarcity, humans, imperfect, irrational humans, would still fight.
For now, he follows the Lodestar's guiding light. But he is not so cold as his body appears.
Gyft: Prosthetic Alchemy
A vestige of the Gyft possessed by the Principal, the individual that lead the Mechanical Society.
By utilizing the equivalent bio-matter and then introducing the mechanical tool meant to be infused with it, Wes is able to craft prosthetics that cannot be created or even understood by current technology. The process involved is mentally taxing, to the point that even a slight break in focus during 'installation' would cause the entire thing to turn into waste materials instead: inert hunks of metal that possess the form, but no function. Still, when they
are crafted and grafted, they become perhaps one of the few objects in Nocturnia capable of 'combining' with their wearer's Gyft, offering new advantages or removing past disadvantages.
