Stuart Wilson

“Put simply, we fight death. Mortality comes for us all, sometimes slowly, sometimes quickly, but that doesn’t make it just. At our school, we teach the art of reanimation. We bring the dead back to life. Sometimes this means working with whole corpses, like Erwin, other times it means building life from disparate body parts. And we don’t just restore life – we seek to improve it, too. Make our Creations stronger, more resilient. If we can’t bring them back, we help the dead speak from beyond the grave and give them a voice. We can even create artificial life from nothing, via means magical or technological. In order to study such things, our school is removed from mainstream society, as our work can make many feel uncomfortable. They call what we do immoral. A violation, some would say. To which I say, death is a violation. And it’s our job to redress the balance. Where death seeks to destroy, we seek to Create.”
