the Wainwright
Engineer - Vendetta Against Empire
This companion hails from Vlandia. Despite being raised by a wheelwright, she actually has no engineering skills - just bow skills strangely.
Companion Story
Her father was a wheelwright. The best work for someone in his line of work was Lycaron, the capital of the Empire before the riots from Arenicos' death. Those same riots resulted in 'Wainwrights' father being killed. Now she has a vendetta against the empire and wishes to demolish the Empire, Lycaron, and all those who killed her "da".
In Summary
"My father was a wheelwright but there's more money in catapults than in carts these days. I did a bit of work repairing the mangonels round the walls of my hometown, and I reckon I can build some as well."
