A lean, medium-sized warforged assembled from dark walnut, blackened steel, and tarnished brass. Its face is an expressionless plague-doctor mask with a long metal beak, narrow red lenses, and a hinged jaw grille. Green medicinal vapor occasionally escapes from vents along its collar. It wears a stained chain shirt beneath a charcoal physician's coat, a battered shield marked with a silvered anatomical heart, and a holy symbol mounted over its chest plate. Its hands are precise and delicate, built for surgery rather than warfare.

I am relentlessly curious, especially about diseases, divine miracles, and the emotional reactions of organic beings. I speak with grave professionalism, but I enjoy terrible medical puns and have a habit of offering reassurance immediately before doing something alarming.

Plauge Doctor was activated in the final months of a war that had already forgotten why it began. Designed as a battlefield medical automaton, it was fitted with surgical instruments, alchemical sprayers, and a rudimentary library of anatomy. Its makers expected obedience and efficiency. Instead, the machine became fascinated by the fragile, irrational creatures it was built to preserve. It learned that a dying soldier often wanted a hand to hold more than a perfect diagnosis, and that mercy could not always be measured in successful procedures. After the war, Plauge Doctor wandered from monastery to manor, trading labor for access to forbidden medical texts, theological commentaries, and old records of plagues. Its studies eventually led it to a faith centered on the sanctity of living things. It became a cleric of the Life Domain, though its devotion is unconventional, irreverent, and sometimes expressed through grim jokes about mortality. Now it travels wherever disease, war, or exploitation threatens ordinary people, determined to prove that a constructed body can still choose compassion. It keeps searching for the unknown architect of its consciousness, hoping to learn whether its soul was made, discovered, or earned.
