The Satisfied Magician

 is a potential Chief Engineer crew member; he is the successfully promoted version of the Genial Magician, resulting in improved stats and the ability to construct The Serpentine engine, a miracle of science and technology.

Background
He's a good engineer, despite that missing hand. But zailors fall silent when he passes.

Character description
"He has the quiet smile of a man who has tamped down the earth on his enemy's grave."

Obtaining
 is obtained by completing the Genial Magician storylet:
 * Get a Serpent-Image by one of the following methods:
 * Go to Venderbight, do the action until you get the A Serpent-Image random event (5% chance). Since random events depend on luck, you may have to return to Venderbight many times with Something Awaits You before you get this. In this event, do the The Genial Magician has a use for it action.
 * A more reliable way is to bring to Irem and choose  to enter the Mirror-Marches where you can.
