Hmmm...
I was thinking about you earlier to try and determine this...
With this kinda stuff, it's usually what comes to you IMMEDIATELY, whereas when you start to really try to analyze it in depth, the answers may become more muddled in the process.
I think this type of thing starts out with intuitive clarity, and then anything from there is overcomplication.
You go WAY back... yet the examples I see of you are earlier than some of the other examples I listed before.
Usually I see these guys in their 1600s-1800s incarnations.
But I see you in the 1800s incarnations at the earliest.
You're the assistant of the scientist.
You know enough and are skilled enough to be the scientist himself, but for some reason you always go for the assistant role instead... I think it's because you moonlight and lead a double life, so being the scientist full time wouldn't really benefit your aims.
You're assisting the scientist/inventor publicly, but in the shadows you're this:

Farther back, I think you would be alone doing the science type work... working with whatever is indigenous to your area. But in those incarnations that you work alone (you're not assisting someone else, etc.) I see that you are quite secluded.
Of course I can only see as far as my own limits, so... that fact has to be kept at the forefront.
