## Background Info

Perdax Danvej is presumably a Gridmask originating from the Wau timeline and a notable ally of The Maintenancekeeper.

Quite like The Maintenancekeeper himself, Perdax travelled the confusing and often chaotic timeline he grew up on, oftentimes in a function akin to a mercenary, whether that meant eliminating an individual or retrieving objects of interest. This came to an abrupt halt upon being sent to stop The Maintenancekeeper, who was quite able to match Perdax both in combat and temporal abilities. Upon hearing of his adversary's plans, Perdax became convinced of The Maintenancekeeper's goal and took to following him around and collaborating on equipment that The Maintenancekeeper relied on in his efforts.

Through this alliance, Perdax came into contact with many associates and friends of Delinius and served as an excellent fighter in addition to his technical expertise. He was among the first to come with The Maintenancekeeper once it became clear that their native timeline would unravel soon, and escaped to Separ together with several others.

Upon arrival on Artemus, Perdax took charge of constructing quarters and workspaces and helped design vital pieces of technology for what was unofficially being called 'The Unclocked Crew'. One notable piece of technology enabled them to maintain long-distance communication not only across the bounds of Separ, but between different timelines as well.

Perdax is primarily occupied with maintenance and manufacture of equipment that the crew make use of, though he will occasionally fulfil an overwatch role for someone in the field, and more rarely appears on timelines himself when the opposition requires a precise and swift approach.

## Appearance and Personality

With a tall but not overly wide posture, Perdax is difficult to miss, and is never seen without his trademark eyewear, consisting of a pair of dark blue shades. Most of his attire complements these in varying shades of blue, although some outfits include green or yellow accents. He makes use of extensively modified coats and bandoliers that invariably have a notable number of pockets attached to them.

While appearing gruff and short of speech towards outsiders, Perdax is far from heartless, and may on occasion tell some dubious stories during downtime. The result of his tinkering is no small source of satisfaction to him either, and he is often just as concerned with the safety of his creations as that of his peers.

## Relationships

### Unclocked Crew

Perdax' interaction with others around The Maintenancekeeper is very variable.

The Maintenancekeeper remains Perdax' most frequent contact, owing to the many technological that they work on together. While concerned primarily with Delinius' safety on excursions, Perdax also maintains reservations about how far the crew should go in the search for the ideal path for each alternate instance of the man.

Perdax is on good terms with Valenz, even though the two do not seem particularly close. Valenz' cheerful and light disposition contrasts with Perdax' practical approach, but this does not hinder their ability to discuss and test technology, whether that be new creations by Perdax that Valenz tests in the field or acquisitions by Valenz for Perdax to study and replicate.

Though occasionally interacting with others of the crew, Perdax is notably less concerned with them.
