Doctor Janet Drummond
In her previous life, Janet Drummond was a biochemist on the front lines of disease prevention, working on cures that kept populations alive. Death did not change her vocation. As one of the Full Dead, she continues the same work on the Grand Derrick, applying the skills she carried through the grave to the disease that afflicts the Salt Wise and the broader medical needs of the offshore community.
Standing about five feet ten inches in functional yet formal scientist's garb, her hair tied back to stay clear of her work, Drummond maintains an office on the ground floor of the Grand Derrick where she sees patients and develops medicines. She is the most influential member of the Benevolent Association of Dead Folk, not through political maneuvering but through what observers describe as a genuine, earnest desire to help. A solid majority of the Association follows her lead on major decisions, swayed by merit rather than manipulation.
Some suspect her influence is sinister. Those who know her disagree. Drummond's ability to persuade comes from competence and dedication, and the people who work alongside her on the Derrick have seen enough of both to trust her judgment without reservation.
