Watt Wainwright

Watt is a gnome and member of The Brunhilde. He handles most of the software and diagnostics of the ship.

He also started running diagnostic tests on Primina to help figure out who she is and what the illithids wanted with her.

Appearance
He is an elderly gnome, 2' tall with a white beard and mustache. He sounds like Sean Connery.

Personality
Watt is an engineer and scholar by nature and is often called upon to provide context or do research into things that come up on the party's quest. He crafts helpful items for the party such as Persephone's bioscanner, Sebastian's cybernetic arm, and Carter's gravity boots.

He is shown to be a respectful teacher, helping Primina learn about maintenance on The Brunhilde while the rest of the party explored Namulith, and well loved by his students as evidenced by the warm welcome he received from them upon his return to The Atheneum.

Background
He has a doctorate degree from The Atheneum and was a professor and head of the engineering department.

Watt and his wife, Candela, had a daughter named Joule. They were a happy family, both Watt and Candela teaching at the university, until Joule fell ill and died. After Joule's death, Watt and Candela's marriage started to fail. Then when the opportunity to work aboard The Brunhilde came up, Watt took the job leaving his estranged wife behind. Their relationship remains rather tense, with Candela slapping Watt across the face immediately upon his return to The Atheneum.
