Kartel Hammond
Summary
The last guardian of the Philosopher's Stone—a silent witness to the Alchemical Society's glory and its fall, now serving MI6
Description
He doesn't speak. Hasn't spoken since the city fell. Kartel Hammond, MI6 Captain, last surviving guardian of the Philosopher's Stone, living relic of a civilisation that once defied gravity.
Background
He was there when the Alchemical Society reached its pinnacle—buildings floating on transmuted principles, streets humming with wellbeing spells, reality bending to their understanding. He stood as guardian of the Stone, the concentrated nexus of alchemical power that made it all possible. Then came Kira. The war.
Personality
The manipulation. Factions turned against each other, consumed by greed for ultimate power. The magnificent city crumbled. His fellow alchemists—some of the brightest minds in history—perished in flames and chaos.
Role in the story
The Philosopher's Stone shattered, fragments scattering across the world like broken dreams. Kartel survived, haunted by the loss of his brethren, burdened by the weight of being the only one left who remembers what they achieved, what they lost, what they could have been. He took a vow of silence—a solemn commitment to confront the demon spirit and restore the society's honour. Centuries later, his lifespan extended by the Stone's residual energy, he serves MI6, his extensive knowledge of alchemy invaluable, his dignified presence commanding respect without words.
