History: Guillaume was born into minor nobility and began his alchemical researches at the age of eighteen. His semi divine heritage allowed him to excel at the arts of fencing, minor magic and the alchemical arts until he managed to actually craft the Philosopher's Stone. Whether he was hasty in his work or the work itself was inherently unstable the stone exploded, embedding several shards in the chest of Guillaume and ripping a dimensional rift of such magnitude that his ancestral home and lands were wrenched from his reality and became a part of Ayenee. Now he experiments with clockworks, applying his magic and this new technology together to form fantastic automatons capable of performing a variety of tasks. It was during his clock work researches that he discovered the lost plans for the Minoran Timepiece and from it's assembly he has grown more skilled in his tinkerers craft. Currently he journeys willingly with his new friend Inalitalllane though he has no idea where they are going.

Personality sketch: Unlike many of the dark tormented souls one encounters in Ayenee Guillaume is kindly, bumbling, humorous and above all very earthy. While he was born into nnobility some of the finer habits never really rubbed off on him. He is likely to drink to much, to belch and fart and tell dirty jokes and generally start a party wherever he goes. He constantly falls prey to the malicious sense of humor of his horse, Cygne and often uses combat as an excuse to pull some outlandish prank rather than to actually kill someone though his noble code of honor can cause him to slip to acts of violence.

Armor: Guillaume has all his clothing embroidered with arcane wards and spells of protection. Effectively all his clothing puts out a magical field giving him the effective armor rating of double linked mail and some resistance to energy.

Weapons: Acolyte- This colichemarde style blade is the polar opposite of his former weapon Heretic. During a duel with Acolyte Guillaume was forced to relinquish Heretic under the force of an Angelic host summoned by the weapon, though it has not repeated this ability since. The weapon's blade is crafted from crystallized ether with a basket hilt of electrum. The colichemarde blocking surface is composed of two electrum wings that border either side of the crystallized ether blade. The weapon itself is indestructible, being composed of uniquely resilient materials and being present on several different planes of existence simultaneously. In addition to its durability the blade itself has little trouble penetrating most unenchanted materials and can even refract energy if the output is not too great.

Baubles: Minoran Timepiece- This pocket watch is not exactly the sort of thing one equates with power however Guillaume has come to appreciate it. It took him several years to complete the Timepiece and it is truely a work of art. The casing is of some multichromatic metal that is patently extradimensional in origin. It shows no signs of wear and has never been scratched, dented or marred with rust. The inner workings are composed of similarly exotic components including an angel feather mainspring. The watch has a few manipulation modes; stop, slow, accelerated,forwards, backwards and sidestep. Each manipulation mode lasts only for fifteen minutes at a time relative to Guillaume's perception of time. It functions not by actually affecting time for everyone but by altering Guillaume's perception of time and his ability to interact with it. All of the abilities are hinged upon a tachyon particle infusion that allows Guillaume to move in the predescribed manner within in the timestream except in the case of the sidestep function which allows him to exit the timestream entirely, effectively rendering his existence void for fifteen minutes.

Unique Abilities: Metastasis- due to the shards of Philosopher's stone lodged in his chest Guillaume will never age, never get sick and unless a wound is instantly lethal, such as decapitation, he will never die. The Stone is in essence a focal point for static energies. It is not so much that the stone keeps him forever young as much as it keeps him from changing. Even his injuries will be healed, not so much instantaneously but through a process of accelerated growth back to the predescribed static state. For Guillaume healing is a painful process, imagine all the growing pains you have ever had multiplied by a thousand and compressed into an matter of hours. It is even possible that if the body is destroyed the stones could metastisize a new one from even the slightest trace of DNA left on them although the process would take a great deal of time. The stones themselves are indestructible, being a focus of stasis means they will exist in perpetuum unchanged.

Entropic resistance- As mentioned above the Philospher's stone is a focus of static energy. The fact that Guillaume's entire body is now infused with the energy of the shards in his chest means that Entropic energies have no chance of affecting him. The two opposing fields will balance each other out at the point of contact basically creating a stable environment where most things can live. In theory the introduction of Guillaume into a chaotic environment could equalize that environment to the point of habitability.
