Thorne Blackwell

Thorne Blackwell is a reclusive inventor bound by steam, gears, and ghostlight. Once the brightest mind in Gildspire, tradedy fractured his world. After losing his fiancée, Elira Vale, in a forbidden soul-anchoring ritual, he withdrew into the shadows of his laboratory. Some say he now works to undo time itself. Others whisper that he still hears her voice in the hiss of eather and the hum of machines. Haunted but brilliant, Thorne spaeks like a man who's read every book twice - and burns the ones that hurt.
