Tarnish

 is a character in Torment: Tides of Numenera.

Background
The elderly man stares vacantly at a distant wall, muttering under his breath. His hands flex on the air, twisting and tweaking, as if he is repairing a machine only he can see.

He jumps when you draw in a breath to speak. Tarnish is the caretaker of the Under-Foreman, the construct that dismantled himself in an attempt to ensure that he can pass his... Legacy on through constructed children. He's been doing it forever - and under Tarnish's care for the past 70 years.

Quests

 * Foreman's Brood: Although Tarnish believes the Crippled Foreman's goal is noble, he doesn't want to kill the ancient machine to achieve it. He will direct you to the Order of Truth to find answers.
