| '''Kelvin''' is a dedicated, undead scientist with a bevy of freezing abilities to slow his enemies and heal allies. He can conjure an Ice Path under his feet for faster movement for himself and his team, throwing Frost Grenades and firing his Arctic Beam at nearby enemies to set them up for his companions' attacks. Tactical usage of his Frozen Shelter ice dome can protect and heal allies while trapping hapless opponents. | | '''Kelvin''' is a dedicated, undead scientist with a bevy of freezing abilities to slow his enemies and heal allies.

| As an adventuring scientist, Kelvin was particularly excited for rumours of an 8th [[Astral gate]] opening in the Arctic, developing an expedition to hunt for it. However, something went wrong with the expedition, vanishing into the snow and leaving Kelvin's frozen, animate body to be discovered over a year later. | | As an adventuring scientist, Kelvin was particularly excited for rumours of an 8th [[Astral gate]] opening in the Arctic, developing an expedition to hunt for it.

| A famed adventuring scientist, Kelvin made it his life’s mission to explore and understand the unknowable. So naturally when rumors surfaced regarding an 8th astral gate hidden in the arctic, Kelvin couldn’t build an expedition team fast enough. Assembling the brightest minds of his generation, Kelvin and his team set forth with much fanfare. | | A famed adventuring scientist, Kelvin made it his life’s mission to explore and understand the unknowable.

| A year and a half later the frozen body of Kelvin was found by a fishing trawler, his corpse clutching a rock etched with glowing runes. The crew chipped away at the ice, looking to get a closer look at the body and were shocked when Kelvin opened his eyes. They checked his vitals… there was no pulse. They sought to bandage his open wounds… there was no blood. And yet, impossibly, Kelvin was "alive". | | A year and a half later the frozen body of Kelvin was found by a fishing trawler, his corpse clutching a rock etched with glowing runes.
