Presenting Doctor Meldreck Akern otherwise known as "Jellidar." His home is a former insane asylum, an humongous castle-like complex with a rather unfortunate history. I'm still thinking up a name for this place; it's out in the middle of nowhere surrounded by rolling hills and dark forests. Although Jellidar often tampers with the laws of nature and is a creature of darkness who enjoys inspiring terror in mortals, he is also very skilled healer, sought out by rich and poor fey alike.

Emma, the Lord of Hell, was sick. All the doctors in Hell did what they could for him, but he got no better. "Give me a human doctor from the land of the living." he said to the Green Ogre. "Yes, sire,--but how can I tell who is a good doctor?" "The doctor who has no revengeful ghosts at his door is a good one." The Green Ogre went off to earth, and looked here and there, but everywhere at the doors of the doctors there were ghosts of the people they had killed. At last he found one with no ghosts, and asked the people next door about him. "He set up his practice yesterday."
