Memories entry

 * Although the Biomancers have a particular interest in Mortbane due to the seromile cultivation, the town has had a sheriff since it was first settled. Sheriff Whitaker is one of the native Mortbane citizens, which means he is immune to the xurene gas. He doesn’t trust outsiders, and he harbours a strong dislike for the non-native Mortbane people nicknamed “paper-lungs”. Whitaker realises, however, that it would be foolish to attack the paper-lungs without an excuse, and with the Biomancers supporting Mayor Hucknell. As a result, Whitaker wants to oust the mayor, whom he perceives as weak and selfish.


 * Whitaker has another key role, however, in addition to his sheriff duties. He is the leader of the cult who worship the giant wurm that lives beneath the earth’s surface — the mighty Voort. He is fiercely protective of the Voort followers. Although he makes no attempt to hide the existence of the cult, he is careful not to advertise their numbers to the Biomancers.
