Character profile: Doctor Claret Heartthrob
Role: Field surgeon
Species: Unicorn
Age: 32
Augmentation: Negligible
Detachment: Support crew
Cult: None
One of the earlier immigrants to Ferrous Dominus, Doctor Calret Heartthrob moved to Ferrous Dominus on a quest for knowledge and fulfillment.
With the arrival of the Iron Warriors on Centaur III and examples of their technology cropping up in Equestrian lands, any pony professional or academic with the nerve to endure the security checkpoints and festering corruption arranged at least a brief pilgrimage to the fortress-factory to study its archives. Doctors in particular were stunned at the countless examples of cybernetic integration and enhancement "enjoyed" by the 38th Company, although they were equally distressed by the knowledge of a plague cult within the fleet. Many of them spent a day perusing the public data stacks and left the fortress with a pile of dataslates detailing new treatments, studies, technologies, and insights they had never imagined.
For Claret, that was not enough.
The Chaos fleet possessed the knowledge and the tools to advance the Equestrian field of medical science for centuries. They also possessed an abundance of patients.
Given constant combat operations and the rather hazardous living conditions around the city, medical services were always in high demand. Most of these services were provided through the Dark Mechanicus, which frankly left everyone unsatisfied; the Techpriest Biologis disliked being used as mere field medicae, their patients didn't care for their bedside manner, and the injuries were not being treated at an acceptable rate. While the Company did possess field medicae and stitch-servitors, the gap in skills and capabilities between them and the Techpriests was cavernous.
When Doctor Heartthrob initially settled in Ferrous Dominus, her intention was to establish a private clinic to fill part of that gap. Alas, after a mere two weeks of training on the new methods and tools available to her, she was met by a fleet officer who politely explained that she would be working directly for the 38th Company under a formal contract or she would be immediately ejected from the city. Alarmed but determined not to be driven out so easily, Doctor Heartthrob signed the contract and was immediately moved to a treatment medicae. By her third week in Ferrous Dominus she had personally saved a dozen lives and accidentally cured a Nurgle cultist due to an administrative mix-up (he was immediately exiled from the temple).
Doctor Heartthrob would not say she "enjoys" being a surgeon, precisely, but she finds the work honestly fulfilling despite the dubious characters she's often responsible for saving. She takes her work seriously and believes saving lives is a pony's highest possible calling. However, given the sheer degree of death and carnage that surrounds her in a Chaos fleet, she quickly adopted a cool and desensitized demeanor.
With more experience under her metaphorical belt, she was eventually given the dubious honor of serving on the Harvest of Steel during its next raiding operation. Such a post has its advantages: access to the highest technologies, more downtime between combat operations, and she's already gotten to see a fascinating variety of alien infections. On the other hoof, she's fairly certain the damned souls of her lost patients are haunting her dreams on the ship. Sub-optimal!
In a strange twist of fate, Doctor Heartthrob has been treating the Elements of Harmony more and more often as they come back from their special missions in increasingly worse shape. The Elements of Harmony - now known as Equinought Squadron - are quite thankful for her services, especially Rarity; it's well-known that the Techpriests have a tendency to discard and replace damaged organs and limbs that could be easily treated and fully restored, a fate Rarity is quite desperate to avoid.
