Echo is a young gnome with vibrant blue hair swept back in a practical style and eyes so blue they almost glow with a sharp, calculating intelligence. He wears worn leather armor adorned with various academy badges and utility pouches. He is rarely seen without his polished bullseye lantern and a confident, knowing smirk on his face.

Intellectually hungry and slightly cocky, Echo treats every locked door as a personal insult and every ruin as a logic puzzle waiting to be solved. He speaks with rapid-fire enthusiasm about stratigraphy and ancient clockwork, often moving faster than his companions can follow.

Echo Nullbit was the star student of the Academy of Antiquities until he was caught 'borrowing' the Dean's private collection for after-hours study. He argued that history belongs to everyone, but the law saw it differently, marking him with a criminal record that ended his academic career. Undeterred, he turned his skills toward field archaeology, though his methods involve more lockpicks than brushes. He believes that the greatest truths of the world are hidden behind the most complex traps. He has spent his meager savings on a lantern and high-quality rope, ready to find what the world has buried. He treats his criminal past not as a shame, but as the practical training necessary for a high-stakes archaeologist.
