Emmett Bowing was an Ashtani inventor and head army engineer recruited by Davis Kephry in the last days of the Seleucarian Empire. It was through his technical innovation with Jester explosives that the great walls of Seleucar were breached by the Sapience League after ten days of siege.
Had Bowing’s unconventional methods been unleashed for common use, the history of warfare would no doubt have been affected forever. However, immediately after the resolution of the battle, Bowing ordered every device, formula, and blueprint destroyed. While he claimed that he was acting on the orders of the Man in Grey, limericks and puns of the Jesters’ Guild suggest that the destruction was part of a secret third party bargain.
