Yorrik

Yorrik is a 398 year old doctor specializing in ear, nose, and throat infections. He serves in the Sleepwalker Team Blue-9 maintenance crew of the Andromeda Initiative vessel Keelah Si'yah, alongside his friend Senna'Nir vas Keelah Si'yah.

Background
Yorrik was born Naumm on Ekuna's New Elfaas city. His father had been a doctor, as well as his grandfather Varlaam.

When Naumm was a young 112 year old elcor he grew sick and almost died were it not for Varlaam's resourcefulness during a power outage caused by criminal quarians stranded on Ekuna. His grandfather tried teaching him the same values, but Naumm only half-listened as he never wanted to be a doctor in the first place.

Regardless, Naumm became a medic in the military early in his career, participating in the battle of Viluuna. He eventually returned to civilian life as a pediatric allergist, though he grew tired of staring at frightened little elcor throats and yearned to do more with his life.

Viewing his old name respectable but plain, Naumm legally had it changed after becoming a superfan of William Shakespeare's Hamlet, after the eponymous dead court jester character. He auditioned for Francis Kitt's all-elcor Hamlet adaptation and (according to him) was almost cast as Polonius, though Kitt went with a younger actor for the part.

The old elcor had a couple of unique beliefs regarding Shakespearean literature. The works resonated with him so much that he theorized Shakespeare was secretly an elcor, writing about elcor characters. As evidence he pointed to certain Hamlet lines that seemingly indicated elcor physiology (Eyes without feeling, feeling without sight, ears without hands or eyes, smelling sans all) or elcor mindsets (Dennmaark apparently is a bastardized form of Dekuuna).

Yorrik got over his negative experiences with quarians when he met and struck a friendship with Senna during the latter's Pilgrimage. He readily accepted the quarian's invitation to join the Initiative when it was offered. Prior to departure he spent the rest of his time on Hephaestus Station composing an elcor rendition of Macbeth, projected to be 16 hours long. He had been rewriting Lady Macbeth's last monologue in his head when he boarded the ark; while drunk he previewed parts of the play to the crew during the midpoint journey festivities before passing out.
