Overview
Before he entered the Shadows, ʔáylx (Anglicized: "Ai-likh") was merely a DocWagon surgeon who was in the wrong place at the wrong time; when his employer terminated him for treating someone who hadn't forked over the Nuyen, the disgruntled Troll dove headfirst into a life of saving those whom the rich didn't believe deserved it. This eventually landed him in the favor of a Shadowrunner named Sokol, who opened his world up to a career of Runner medical support. He constructed an emergency room and cyber/biotech lab in his residence with the funds he acquired, as well as a makeshift ambulance out of a civilian van. Just as it was Sokol who pulled him into the Shadows, it was Sokol that gave him a way out, but he never truly left. Ever since finding a dying amnesiac razorgirl- E.V.E.- in a Puyallup landfill and saving her from a slow death, he has taken up the mantle of a "paramed ripperdoc"; he helps Shadowrunners in need regardless of who they are, and offers the service of implanting, repairing, and upgrading bioware and cyberware.
ʔáylx is a Cowlitz Troll who stands at nearly approximately 9'2" with bulging muscles and heavy augments; his right arm and left leg are fully replaced, and a closer look will make an Orthoskin modification apparent. His thick black hair is shoulder blade length and mane-like when unstyled, hence he usually keeps it braided. When not on the job, he is most likely either weightlifting, learning a new recipe, or making himself a cup of tea. He often does so for clients as well, using one of his Chinese tea sets, and he is a major stickler on the traditional process of preparing tea with one.

If he deems himself unqualified to assist them, he will attempt to notify someone who is, and ensure that the patient remains in a savable state until said someone arrives.
