"She's marched with armies and cured generals. Don't annoy her."[1]

"In the Elder Continent, there is a flame that burns souls. My soul caught alight."[2]

The Brisk Campaigner is a renowned doctor from London. A skilled and knowledgeable,[3] if quick-tempered,[4] physician,[5] the Campaigner has served the very best - even the Empress herself.[6] She once served as a combat medic[7] and takes hygiene very seriously.[8]

At some point, the Campaigner visited the Elder Continent and contracted animescence, the disease that slowly burns one's soul.[9] She has not yet given in to her fate, so she wishes to travel the Unterzee to find a cure.[10] Should the unthinkable happen and she meets a fiery demise, the Campaigner will at least ensure that no one else should come to harm.[11][12]
