Nahtesh

"He owes me 5 Shinies"

- Everyone Natesh has met

History
Nahtesh (real name Steven Bird) is the Magician of The Daedalus.

There is very little that is known for sure about Nahtesh as the story changes with every telling. The few parts that stay the same are that he was born to a poor family in a tiny hamlet somewhere in The Gold, the name of which even he can't remember.

In his early teenage years Nahtesh had an argument / stole the family's savings / raiders burned down his hut and he ran away to the bright flashing lights of "Pristine Valley"; a scummy hive of gambling, prostitutes and scavengers. Nahtesh lied cheated and shot his way to some knowledge of buried treasure in The Gold, the details of the treasure and the trials endured to find them change, but always Nahtesh emerges triumphant with new powers, gun and a mutated body.

After spending a few years mastering his powers and getting further into trouble Nahtesh joined up with the crew of The Daedalus as he ran away from a bounty hunter posse he had been a part of. Although Nahtesh has many bad qualities the rarity and power of magic that he controls means that his value outweighs the trouble he causes, although it often becomes a close run thing.
