A Rogue Doc (former Escher)^[2]

Rogue Docs are Necromundan Underhive medical specialists, who offer their services to anyone who can afford their prices.^[1] It has been noted, however, that only truly desperate Underhivers would use their services.^[2]

If they are blamed for the death of an important patient or an outbreak of sickness, however, Rogue Docs will join a friendly gang and will offer their services for protection.^[1] The Palanite Enforcers have noted that many Rogue Docs appear to be former members of House Escher who could not make it as Clan Chymists.^[2]
