Carrion, Father of Evolution

==Description==
Carrion, referred to as the Father of Evolution is a Black Diver and master alchemist that resides in the Grand Library of New Kyrsa. He is also the leader of the Apothecary.
Carrion is a Ganymede Black Diver NPC, with wild white hair and unique green eyes, a result of using himself to test a prototype of the Moonseye Vigour potion, which also drove him insane. He resides in Great Library of New Kyrsa. He can be found at the end of the library puzzle, next to an obelisk. Once you talk with him there, he will then appear in Castle Light in the library room with the antiquarian. There he can teach you the various monster mantras if you have the materials for them. Despite being a Black Diver, he is more of a scientist than a fighter. His goal is to perfect the Moonseye Vigour which he will use to 'transcend' everyone, by force if necessary. He has also attempted to clone himself, and apparently succeeded. Even the Divers are unaware of just how many he has.
=== Untarnishing ===
If you talk to him with a Resonance and the Tarnished flaw, he will offer to untarnish it for 1 Knowledge, this is unlocked permanently on all slots after meeting him for the first time in New Kyrsa.

==Trivia==
*Carrion is based on Doc, a player who was one of the first members of the Divers guild. As a result, they have taken up that mantle.
**While technically fanart, a picture of Dr. Carrion, drawn by SudoMesh, has been taken by him as his official appearance.
*Carrion means the flesh of a dead animal, which is fitting considering that he converts monster drops into mantras.
*In the dialogue with Klaris after interacting with Carrion in New Kyrsa: the player will note Carrion describing himself as "Dr. Diver".
*It has been confirmed by Arch_Mage that Dr. Carrion escaped from Layer 2 by stepping on Klaris' Light Hook, but it has not been confirmed if it is the same light hook the player used to escape Layer 2. This, ofcourse, doesn't make any sense if you think about it for more than 10 seconds since he can return to Castle Light without you having taken the Light Hook. This also contradicts Doc's own words that it was a clone, but since he has a tendency to just say stuff, his word should probably taken with a mountain of salt.
