Ewan Pike

Ewan works with a surface crew, weighted boots and a pump-fed diving helmet to recover cargo, dropped tools and occasional grim evidence from the riverbed. A wealthy client pays to recover a locked box but insists Ewan never open it or report its whereabouts.

Ewan works with a surface crew, weighted boots and a pump-fed diving helmet to recover cargo, dropped tools and occasional grim evidence from the riverbed. Keeps a private log of objects their owners never claimed.

Ewan finds a sealed engine-stone component in the silt, a rare object seemingly connected to a missing canal worker.
