**Doctor Carrywell** is a senior staff member at the Grand Sanatorium in Venderbight, where she oversees the patients closest to death.

## The Surgeon With Blood On Her Hands

Despite her title as the Permanent Surgeon and the adequate tools she carries with her, Carrywell doesn't perform many surgeries. Instead, she is very intent on listening to the stories of her patients; the fact that some have to be forced into sharing them is of little concern to her. Other staff members speculate that Doctor Carrywell's main concern is intelligence gathering. However, it is unknown for whom she works, or if she's merely selling to the highest bidder. Some of her patients were high-ranking members of London's society, old enough to have seen the other cities; some are spies who have kept their secrets almost until their grave and have many valuable stories to tell.

Before her occupation in the Sanatorium, Carrywell researched Gaoler's Honey in the Cage-Gardens of the Shuttered Palace. Although she has moved on from the red honey business, she still maintains a good relationship with the Palace. The Grand Sanatorium is one of the honey-gardens' biggest customers, since red honey provides another way to gather intelligence by allowing the user to experience foreign memories.

Carrywell crossed paths with the assassin Scathewick in the Cage-Gardens. She doesn't think highly of him, but apparently she has the means to keep Scathewick in his self-imposed exile.

Carrywell is known to be an avatar of the Red-Handed Queen. As would be expected of a follower of the Queen, she is not overly sympathetic to her victims; in fact, she doesn't show an inkling of empathy or remorse when dealing with her prisoners. She doesn't pretend the Sanatorium is anything other than a torture chamber, and she openly threatens "admittance" should her secret operation be made public.
