Dr. Harmon Ruscheider

Dr. Harmon Ruscheider (?-713 BC) was a medical doctor and colleague of Rudolph van Richten. They studied medicine together at the University of Il Aluk. He is now a Ghost trapped in Richten Haus by Madame Radanavich.

During his time among the living, Ruscheider had conducted research into necrology (specifically the decay of the lich body as part of his research into the decomposition of mortal bodies following death) and became prisoner of a lich from Invidia for a time. After the lich destroyed itself during a failed ritual, Ruscheider was able to escape and make his way to van Richten, where he shared his knowledge before perishing.
