Zavin

The aloof artificer with his trusty M.A.G.I.C. and I.T.E.M.S.

Background
Zavin worked for the Izzet League since he was old enough to lift a hammer. He spent years working in the Laboratory of Metallurgy, until recently when he became a field agent for the league.

One of his most successful experiments was the General Use Network (G.U.N.), a remote turret which a soldier could construct easily with some tools. He worked for years to create variants on his G.U.N. system, and upon perfecting it and demonstrating its prowess to his higher ups, he was given the go ahead to begin mass marketing this system.

It was a disaster.

No one could re-create his intricate magical runes in the time Zavin could, the best taking double the amount of time before they could figure it out. He was the only one able to make the delicate movements needed to summon these turrets, as a result, Zavin was re-purposed as a field agent with the unique ability to create and deploy magitechnology on the fly. He created his own equipment, including his Magitech Apparatus Generic Interface & Charger (M.A.G.I.C.) and his Infusion Treated Equipment Manipulation System (I.T.E.M.S.)

Relationships
Jana: A Sprite who works to carry messgaes between the various labs of the Izzet. Zavin befriended her as a child when she helped him overcome some personal issues with his superiors. They have been friendly ever since, and Zavin has helped her to stay as a mail sprite even as he aged. She helped him to secure a meeting to demonstrate his G.U.N. system, and helped comfort him when his system failed.

Niv-Mizzet: The guildmaster took a great interest in the G.U.N. system when the failure of it made its way through the council. The great dragon mage has been the only other being besides Zavin who could successfully summon the turrets, and was thoroughly intrigued at a being who could replicate designs like the turret he saw.

Quelstrianna: A High Elf Shepherd Druid working for the Simic Combine in the Hull Clade, she and Zavin have had a standing lunch date for the past 100 years in which they both compare notes and ideas while they eat at a cafe located between their labs, she inspired Zavin to make his turrets while discussing natural defense systems of plants.
