	=== [[Percival van der Berg]] ===		=== [[Percival van der Berg]] ===
	Henry's closest friend and fellow Chief Artificer. Together, they founded the Technate of Koperdam, ~~each bringing~~ complementary strengths ~~to their shared vision~~. Henry provides the practical ~~ingenuity~~ to construct and refine, ~~while~~ Percival's relentless curiosity ~~uncovers new~~ knowledge upon which those creations are built.		Henry's closest friend, intellectual equal, and fellow Chief Artificer. Together, they founded the [[Technate of Koperdam]] after leading an expedition into the central peaks in January of Year 1, establishing a diarchy built upon complementary strengths. While Henry provides the practical, methodical civil engineering to construct and refine, Percival's relentless curiosity and cartographic expeditions uncover the raw knowledge upon which those physical creations are built.

			Their close bond was heavily tested throughout Year 2 by separate, parallel burdens of isolation. When Henry developed a progressive physical palsy in his right arm during May--June of Year 2, he became terrified of Percival discovering his condition. Knowing that Percival possesses an extraordinary attention to detail capable of spotting the smallest irregularity within a machine, Henry locked himself away in his study under the guise of finalizing structural plans for Clockhaven's grand warehouse. He wore heavy leather work gloves and hid his worsening tremor to protect Koperdam's image of absolute progress from his closest companion, eventually fleeing into the frontier in October to undergo a secret cybernetic amputation.

			Conversely, during his months away mapping the globe, Percival struggled with a profound personal loneliness that he felt he could not easily share with his friend. Although Percival returned a detailed geographical survey to Koperdam in November--December of Year 1 - expressing an eager anticipation to reunite with his co-founder—he privately carried a deep fatigue from his solitary travels, which he eventually confessed only to [[Semet\|Queen Semet]]. Despite these unshared secrets, they remain the ideological pillars of Koperdam, relying entirely on one another's genius to steer the nation's rapid industrialization.

			=== [[Sylvis Pardali]] ===
			Henry met the Archdruid of [[The Circle of the Sūle Starhood]] in September of Year 1, at the edge of Koperdam's golden wheat fields. Although Sylvis initially mispronounced Koperdam as "Cuuperdam", she invited Henry into the southern grove. Sitting around a fire, the two engaged in a deep philosophical discussion, comparing the druidic protection of nature with Koperdam's drive to build. Through their conversation, they eventually found common ground: raw resources were not opposed to progress, but rather formed its foundation.

			=== [[Semet]] ===
			Henry shared a brief but significant meeting with [[Semet\|Queen Semet]] in September--October of Year 2, during her official state visit to Koperdam. He greeted the Queen-Goddess with a few reserved but warm words before returning to coordinate his workers as they constructed a new metal road in Clockhaven. The brief encounter nevertheless left Semet with a lasting impression of Henry's immense dedication. She privately noted, however, that the Chief Artificer appeared deeply fatigued and that something seemed physically wrong with his arm.

			=== [[Electrus]] ===
			Henry's relationship with the eccentric western hermit is defined by a desperate and agonizing secret. They first met by chance in Clockhaven during January--February of Year 2, when Electrus arrived in Koperdam by accident. The two shared a table and discussed the conductive properties of copper and elemental energies.

			When Henry's arm palsy deteriorated into total paralysis, he secretly sought out Electrus's western tower in October of Year 2. There, Electrus clinically amputated Henry's dead biological limb and used electromancy to channel a jolt of lightning through a copper prosthetic, fusing it directly into Henry's remaining nerves. The procedure marked the world's first known cybernetic integration.

	=== [[Katherine Kingswell]] ===		=== [[Katherine Kingswell]] ===
	~~TBA~~		As co-founders and pioneering architects of Koperdam, Katherine and Henry have worked side by side to establish the physical foundations of the Technate. Their partnership has largely centred around civil and military construction: Henry focused on the logistical design of Clockhaven and Koperdam's expanding railway network, while Katherine led the manual labour and architectural development of the fortress city of Vestad.

			Together, their complementary talents in civil engineering and military fortification have played a significant role in shaping Koperdam's rapid industrial growth.

	Henry is a young man of average height with neatly kept chestnut-brown hair and amber eyes. He typically dresses in practical engineering attire reinforced with leather harnesses and work straps for carrying tools and drafting equipment. Though often seen in formal settings as Chief Artificer, his clothing remains utilitarian, reflecting his belief that function should never be sacrificed for appearance. His left hand frequently bears the marks of manual work, and he is rarely seen without a worn notebook tucked into his satchel.		Henry is a young man of average height with neatly kept chestnut-brown hair and amber eyes.

Though often seen in formal settings as Chief Artificer, his clothing remains utilitarian, reflecting his belief that function should never be sacrificed for appearance. His left hand frequently bears the marks of manual work, and he is rarely seen without a worn notebook tucked into his satchel.

	Following a progressive palsy that began in May--June of [[:Category:Era Nova, Year 2\|Year 2]] and eventually resulted in the complete paralysis of his ~~right~~ arm, Henry underwent a clandestine and gruelling procedure in the northern frontier tower of [[Electrus]] in October. To replace the dead biological limb, it was surgically amputated and fused to a custom mechanical prototype through a violent, blinding surge of electromancy. The resulting copper prosthetic operates through a system of miniature clockwork gears and steam pressure, responding directly to Henry's thoughts and allowing him to retain the use of his arm. The procedure left him permanently marked by the era's first known cybernetic integration, and also leaving a heavy toll on his wellbeing - evident by the tiredness under his eyes.
