Isidor Burakh

Isidor Burakh (Исидор Бурах) was a traditional healer, a menkhu and the father of Artemy Burakh.

= Biography = To start the story of Isidor, one must describe the extraordinary sacrifice that he offered to become menkhu: he did not kill a man, as was expected of him, but instead took a scythe and cut a field of nine-year savyur, from which suddenly poured blood. So much blood erupted that a swamp was formed, and the Guzzle was engorged with blood for two days. Thus his sacrifice was made.

About Isidor's later life only a few scant mentions can be found. However, one thing is certain: he enjoyed great prestige among the townspeople. People of very different ranks and statuses speak of him in the same reverent, respectful tone: from the guard patrol to Big Vlad. One of his disciples, Stanislav Rubin, demonstrates commitment to his teacher in word and deed even after Isidor's death. It is also known that Isidor loved children.

First and foremost among the citizens, Isidor was known as the man who fought the first outbreak of the Sand Plague when it arrived in the Crude Sprawl. At the same time he created and tested a variety of twyrine extracts and, most likely, a Panacea. He also tried to prevent a second outbreak, and for this buried extracted blood from the bowels of an infected person in the desert. However, he infected himself. But he was not killed by the infection.

For the manufacture of a Panacea he needed the blood of an auroch, which could only be obtained in the bowels of the Abattoir. But in order to gain access to the Abattoir, it was necessary to overthrow the current Foreman Oyun. In the attempt, Isidor was killed by Oyun.

Whatever the case may be, and realizing that a new plague approached, Isidor sent a farewell message to his son in the City asking him to save a certain creature, labeled with a brand. Since then, the story of Artemy Burakh has already begun.
