William Z. Patrick: The Mad Inventor
William Zion Patrick, also known Will Z. P., is a philosopher and inventor of many things in the arcana. Famously known for one of his earliest essays when applying to Maegiths School of Arcana on his theory of teleportation which led to the world teleportation ability that is now used in many things used in people's everyday lives such as (personal teleportation devices), inter-astral shipping ports, trade centers and the adventurer's guild.
After graduating University Will continued to study the arcana through his own experiments as well as working independently for various of companies and starting one of the first inter-astral research facility, specializing in the arcana.
Later in life Will became more and more obsessed with his work which slowly driven him to madness by unknown source, weather it was due to personal folly or over-exposure to Minthansi's aura. Due to this madness, after consulting in The Architect (Another name Goddess Vontor goes by), Will had been permanently banished from all temples due to the madness and way of addressing the goddesses. In following years, more radical groups formed circulated due to the incident at the temple and had initiated guerrilla warfare against the many research facilities until the company was forced to close their doors.
It was during this time that William Z. Patrick had completely gone missing and his whereabouts have been unknown ever since. Some speculate that he had been driven completely into madness that he caused his own demise, some theorize that he might have been inside one of the research facilities when they got burned down, some believe that he had offended the goddesses that they would have smite him down, while some believe that he had a moment of clarity mixed with shame for what he's done that he ended his own life. No Evidence had been found to prove any theory now has his body ever been found and most records of his contribution to the field of research and technology was erased from history due to the events that have occurred.
In the wake of his disappearance, some researchers who had formerly worked in William's research facilities believed in the research he conducted and that removing his name from history was purely unjust and in time formed a group that was called The Mad Scholars. Known mad scholars were actively prosecuted by society or exiled until they too disbanded and disappeared, just like their founder.
