Paul Livington

Paul Livington is a teacher at the Etheran Academy who is the latest host for Paean, the Greek physician of the Gods.

Early Life
Paul was born in Liverpool, England on the cusp of World War II. He had a very modest upbringing.

Later Life
After his schooling at Etheran Academy, Paul accepted a teaching position there to teach medicine and healing to the incoming generations of deities. He has worked there for decades, mentoring young minds meticulously. He is well-loved by his students for his kindness, patience and eagerness to pass on knowledge. He has a particularly close bond to Wade Abram, who he met in Wade's very first term and has become a mentor to.

In addition to his responsibilities as a teacher, Paul also maintains a personal library in his classroom, containing texts all pertaining to medicine and healing. He is also one of the caretakers for the school's greenhouse, where he helps to grow a supply of medicinal herbs and other useful plants, which are used for various classes offered at the school, as well as the infirmary. Paul is the primary overseer of the infirmary, both tending to patients and ensuring that it runs smoothly.

Appearance
Paul appears as a man usually does in his late seventies. His hair has gone entirely white, which he lets grow well past his shoulders, earning him the nickname Gandalf from the students. His tanned skin is loose and wrinkled, marred with splotches and imperfections from his old age. He has small, twinkling blue eyes, and a large, hooked nose, thin lips, and a prominent chin. He speaks kindly and clearly, with a notable Liverpool accent. When he walks, it is done slightly hunched forward.

Personality
Paul is well-known for being wise and kind, always showing patience with his students and a genuine interest in their futures and well-being. Over the years, he has successfully personally mentored the very best healers out of Etheran Academy. He takes his job very seriously, considering it his life's work, and makes a point to connect with his students.

Powers
Not only can Paul heal, but he can also manipulate disease, warding off or even creating germs, pathogens, or any other disease-causing organisms. As such, he has been able to remain in good health despite his aging body.
