Parsmen Glemkil

Doctor Parsmen Glemkil, Pl.D.Doctor of Planes (born 4E 454), is a human sorcerer/wizard and planewalker that was rescued from the Der Rex Bastion by the Deviants in Violet. As an NPC, Parsmen Glemkil is portrayed by Tony in the A Clockwork Brass campaign.
== Description ==
=== Appearance ===
Glemkil appeared to be a middle-aged human male with pronounced cheekbones and an angular face. He was shockingly tall at roughly 6 feet 2 inches. His eyes looked tired, and his hair was disheveled showing signs of the early stages of male-patterned baldness. His eyes are a dark espresso and his lips are wired and taught.
Upon being freed from his bindings, Glemkil's eyes changed from that dark espresso to a more golden hue. Simultaneously, when his bindings were undone his demeanor changed from that of a nervous scholar to a confident, if not wiry and fidgety, persona.
=== Personality ===
Cypryjan was able to recall whispers of an "odd" professor of Planar Studies at Anngratz University that did go by the name of 'Parsmen Glemkil'. The exact reasonings behind this odd behavior, and the intricacy of it, were unknown to him as he did not take Planar Studies during his time at Anngratz.
After having a thorough conversation with Glemkil, the party was able to note that he possessed a series of ticks and odd behavior. He seems sociable, and even courteous. He is highly intelligent and regarded as the most accomplished in his field of Planar Studies.
== Biography ==
=== Background ===
Parsmen Glemkil was born in the Frahtish city of Duurwijk (later renamed Torr's End). He claimed to have been a "wunderkind" displaying incredible intelligence at a young age. He grew up at the same time as Blausten von Clausewitz and got into Anngratz Academy at the same time with him being 16 and Blausten being 14. They shared a dormitory at Feodor College and became decent friends during that time.
While working on their final dissertations and theses for their doctorates and masters degrees, Parsmen Glemkil had discovered a new plane of existence that was previously unrecorded in the Gryzzliran cosmology. Due to von Clausewitz's disbelief in such a discovery, Glemkil opened a portal to this undiscovered and unrecorded plane, revealing a realm he called Mechanus. Upon being exposed to this plane of cogwheels and clockwork, Parsmen Glemkil and Blausten von Clausewitz were granted enhancements to their already spectacular intelligence. von Clausewitz, who had previously had blue eyes, saw an aesthetic alteration wherein his eyes turned into a bright glowing red, and Glemkil's eyes changed from one color to that of a bright and shining gold.
The enhancement to their intelligence was a great boon to von Clausewitz who would go on to invent the steam engine. However, fear took hold of both of them as they began to experience lapses in memory and a perceived decline in intellectual capacity. Fearing the worst, von Clausewitz convinced Glemkil to expose them to Mechanus again, permanently enhancing their intelligence from that moment onward.
Upon opening the portal for the second time, Parsmen Glemkil found himself pushed into the portal and descending into the void that was a realm of infinite time. It was only after Glemkil was able to transport himself to a realm that he described as "made of infinite imagination, though [his] eyes were closed" that he was able to relieve himself of infinity.
Later on, Parsmen Glemkil would visit all 45 planes of existence and, at some point, ignite a rivalry with Blausten von Clausewitz. 
=== Rivalry with Blausten von Clausewitz ===
In order to convince the Current Party that his freeing was paramount, Parsmen Glemkil described the Clausewitz-brand pocket watches and the effects they have had on those who use them. He has stated that he "Understands their purpose, and seeks to right it".
