Sequoyah (circa 1767–1843), named in English George Gist or Guess, was a Cherokee silversmith who in 1821 completed his independent creation of a Cherokee syllabary, making reading and writing in Cherokee possible. This was the only time in recorded history that a member of an illiterate people independently created an effective writing system. After seeing its worth, the Cherokee Nation rapidly began to use his syllabary and officially adopted it in 1825. Their literacy rate rapidly surpassed that of surrounding European-American settlers.

- Driven away from her native land that had fallen into the hands of a large Uppers' company, Sequoyah was nonetheless able to save the knowledge passed down to her by the tribe’s female doctor. She then spent several years travelling the world uncovering new medicinal skills and techniques from other cultures. She finally ended up settling down in Clint City where she qualified as a doctor and studied how to combine the new medical technological advances with the knowledge she had acquired. However, faced with a refusal from the Clint City General Hospital to help her in her "unprofitable" research, she turned to the Rescue clan where she uncovered a team of true enthusiasts with whom she managed to create new remedies, despite the presence of slightly dubious practitioners like Pastor.
