Hamisu is an Axiom prosthetist operating a workshop in Verbera who specializes in creating Grafts - advanced prosthetics that respond to their wearer’s will. He served as Sierra’s sponsor into the Axiom and taught her engineering fundamentals.
Workshop in Verbera
Hamisu operates a prosthetist’s workshop in Verbera. When Efrén brought Sierra to his workshop during the Prodigium, Hamisu warmly welcomed them. He listened to Sierra at length with an expression of sympathy before excusing himself to return with various prosthetics ranging from the simplest to the most complex.
Expertise with Grafts
Hamisu spoke to Efrén and Sierra about Grafts, explaining that the most advanced responded to the will of their wearer. However, their cost was prohibitive, and Efrén could only afford rudimentary devices.
When Hamisu attached racing blades to Sierra’s thighs, he made adjustments until she was able to take her first steps. Though unsteady, the simple act of standing brought tears to Sierra’s eyes.
Teaching Sierra
During the Tisdhera Clan’s stop in Verbera, Sierra visited Hamisu daily to learn new things about mechanics, pyrotechnics, and kelonic batteries. Every day she sought him out to expand her technical knowledge.
Hamisu taught Sierra all the basics she was supposed to know to qualify as an Apprentice, including the properties of Kelon, programming fundamentals, how to melt metal, use various machinery, and more. These skills allowed Sierra to secure a position as an Apprentice within the Foundry when she reached Arkaster.
Sponsoring Sierra
One evening, Efrén went to see Hamisu himself, asking him to sponsor Sierra within the Axiom. The old man agreed to his request, if it was truly something the young girl desired from the bottom of her heart.
After Sierra made her choice to join the Axiom, she turned toward Hamisu’s workshop and the station that would take her to the capital, beginning her journey into the Faction.
Personality
Hamisu is described as welcoming and sympathetic, listening to Sierra’s situation at length before offering solutions. He showed generosity in teaching Sierra daily during her stay in Verbera and agreeing to sponsor her into the Axiom when Efrén requested it.
