'''Rtich''' (pronounced "r'teech") was a Russian [[Epic]] with mercury manipulating powers.{{book ref|calamity|9}}
 
==History==
Rtich is killed in Siberia a few months before the events of ''[[Calamity]]'' during some sort of "dramatic" dispute between dictators.{{book ref|calamity|9}} A local merchant managed to harvest a cell sample that made its way into the hands of [[Dean Knighthawk]].{{book ref|calamity|9}} Knighthawk uses the cells to create an [[epic-based technology]] of the same name, the [[rtich]], which he loans to the [[Reckoners]].{{book ref|calamity|9}}
 
== Abilities and Attributes ==
;Quicksilver globe: When [[David]] learns that Knighthawk has duplicated Rtich's powers, he mentions this ability and is excited by it.{{book ref|calamity|9}} When he first uses the rtich technology created by Knighthawk, he assumes that he will be able to control liquid mercury with it, but he is not very successful.{{book ref|calamity|12}} After some practice, [[Abraham]] becomes proficient with the tech, using it to metaphysically control mercury and shape it at will (he is able to create a hovering globe, weapons, stairs, and a shield, among other things).{{book ref|calamity|25}}{{book ref|calamity|38}} David's name for this ability implies that Rtich's power functioned in a manner similar to Knighthawk's device.
;Others: David refers to Rtich as having a "set of abilities" and asks Knighthawk if he has replicated her "entire portfolio".{{book ref|calamity|9}} Knighthawk does not comment other than to point out that each [[motivator]] can only be used to replicate one Epic power.{{book ref|calamity|9}} This implies that Rtich did have other powers, but it is not known what those other powers may have been. It is also unclear if Knighthawk has more motivators made with Rtich's cells.
