Irich

Known facts

dying-of-progressive-paralysisIrich suffers a progressive wasting illness whose course he can feel happening — his left hand barely works, he drags his left leg, lifting his head is *surprisingly difficult*, his physician has told him that one day he will simply not have the strength to draw breath. He develops a new gait every few months. His service to the Set is barter for one thing only: a miracle.MB2:BoM:Ch 18
