A literal [Mad Doctor], Bowom is unabashedly cheerful on performing experimental procedures on people. He is always promoting the benefits of getting new limbs, and has a propensity for laughing maniacally.<ref name=":1" /> His medical ethics are undeniably more questionable than those of [[Geneva Scala]] or most other [Healers]. Even so, he remains scrupulous about patient rights, insisting on informed consent before undertaking any surgery. He has a habit of diving into unnecessarily detailed, overly technical explanations behind perfectly normal things— such as the process of cheese-making - to make them sound as strange and stomach-turning as possible.
A literal [Mad Doctor], Bowom is unabashedly cheerful on performing experimental procedures on people. He is always promoting the benefits of getting new limbs, and has a propensity for laughing maniacally.<ref name=":1" /> His medical ethical standards are far murkier than that of [[Geneva Scala|Geneva Scala's]] or other [Healers], and is willing to " happily put embryonic unborn children or other mammals in jars and see whether or not they survive entry into bags of holding." However, he has admitted to trepidation at the thought of reaching Level 50, not knowing if he would embrace his class or abandon it. He has a kinder side when it comes to the mental health care of his patients, and is far more understanding and professional than he usually is.<ref name=":0" />  
 
For all his theatrical madness, Bowom has admitted to trepidation at the thought of reaching Level 50, not knowing if he would embrace his class or abandon it. He has shown deep guilt over the fate of one of his former patients, Mieve, who now requires constant care after undergoing extreme augmentation.<ref name=":3">{{VERef|10.54 UEG (Pt. 1)}}</ref> He has a a gentler and more professional side when it comes to his patients' mental health.<ref name=":0" />  


==Background==
==Background==
When Bowom was younger, he was fascinated with the idea of augmenting Fraerling bodies with the qualities of other animal species. In order to do so, he studied the brain and the different sections responsible for motor movement. His knowledge of anatomy comes from cadavers, donated or graverobbed.
Bowom has not always lived in Dretonamis. He is wanted for medical malpractice in three (Fraeling) cities and sixteen villages suggesting that he has gotten around before settling in Dretonamis.
 
When a carnivorous locust swarm descended on a group of Fraerlings, Bowom resorted to desperate measures to keep them alive. He performed emergency surgery on a Fraerling woman named Mieve, using everything in his travel bag—including part of a Creler’s brain. She was able to carve a path through the swarm, saving sixty-three Fraerlings. Despite Bowom giving her an estimate of three hours to live after the surgery, Mieve counter-leveled, surviving the ordeal. Stricken with guilt over what he had done to her, Bowom moved to Dretonamis to reflect on a path forward.<ref name=":3" />

Bowom is the main healer that takes care of [[Erin Solstice|Erin]]'s health in the Fraerling village of [[Dretonamis]] after the war at sea against the [[Bloodtear Pirates]]. For the first few days in the villages Erin stays with him in his healing crystal geode which he calls Getwell Geode.<ref>{{VERef|10.18 E}}</ref>

When Erin had her sleepwalking fight with the Fraerling village houses and high-levels Bowom was the one who was wounded by her attacking him until [[Eurise]] showed up and she attacked the [Explorer]. Later, he also took Erin and [[Ulvama]] around the village when Erin was mobile again including the village kitchen house. He also reveals that he will probably hit Level 50 before he turns 50 and that reaching the level scares him because he might fall into the mad part of his class but also adding that mad does not necessarily mean evil in his view.<ref>{{VERef|10.24 E}}</ref>

When Ulavma is kidnapped by the [[Cottontail Raiders]] during the visit to [[Wyewesshi]], Bowom is teleported from Dretonamis to sort the situation out. After Erin goes rogue to save Ulvama by herself he first fixes up Fenmi including reattaching the finger Erin cut of and then flies after her with Dragonfly wings he grows from his back. He only arrives after Erin had already rampaged through the Cottontail Raider base, but was fast enough to fix up the life-threatening injuries like [[Matha]]'s cut throat. In the aftermaths Bowom talks to Erin about her going mad about Ulvama being gone and gives her "relationship" advice. In the end he also writes himself into the book the villagers use to keep track of people that left or visited and declares:<ref name=":2" />
