Jeremus is a foreign surgeon and one of the companions in Warband.
Biography[]
Jeremus is a foreigner who came to Calradia to offer his medical services. He used to be be a university student, but his criticism of Galerian, a famous doctor who is respected in many universities, led to his expulsion. He now wanders Calradia to take jobs as a surgeon and learn more about medicine on his own terms. One of his previous jobs was treating the lord of Almerra Castle for dropsy, who rewarded Jeremus with gold and a corpse to dissect. According to Jeremus, he was treating a merchant's son in town, but their patient died because the family did not listen to his advice. Because of this, the merchant accused Jeremus of witchcraft and attempted to get the surgeon arrested, but the lord of the town is reluctant to do so.
Soon afterwards, he meets the player in the tavern and offers his services for free in exchange for the chance to travel. If he retires, he will head home to share his medical findings with his colleagues, but finds that the universities would rather continue teaching from old books.
Personality[]
Jeremus is an intellectual man who is critical of traditional methods and practices, especially when they are done in ignorance of how and why they work.
Relationships[]
- Artimenner - Both men hold a mutual dislike for one another. Artimenner believes Jeremus is a fraud for disrespecting Galerian, while Jeremus believes that the engineer should not interfere with his surgeries and both wish for the player to dismiss the other.
- Firentis - He and Firentis share the same attitude on war, neither of them enjoy killing even if they both believe that fighting is often necessary to bring peace and both of them wish for a better future for Calradia.
- Matheld - Jeremus dislikes Matheld, as she violently refuses his attempts to treat her and openly announces her ignorance, such as speculating that local villagers are descended from apes.
Gameplay[]
As a party member, Jeremus has high intelligence and has a fair amount of skill in all three medical skills. His poor combat abilities mean that he should be kept away from the front line, so he can keep your other troops alive and healthy.
Jeremus is not of noble birth, so granting him fiefs in Warband costs some relation points with most of the lords of Calradia. Lord Jeremus will then recruit whatever troops are available in his lands, regardless of nationality.
