| Lord Eduard Theobolt The Wandering Alchemist |
Eduard Theobolt was raised just outside of Salzburg,
Austria, and apprenticed to a blacksmith when he
became old enough in about 1210. He found out about
alchemy from a traveling curiosities show and taught
himself the craft. The apprenticeship didn't last that long
after that as he began experimenting with various
substances that he found around the forge or that he
bought himself. Some of those experiments had
explosive results, and he was kicked out when one of
said experiments resulted in destroying half the forge.
For the next few years he wandered around the
countryside making up various concoctions and selling
some as cure-alls and others as poisons or weapons. He
also became very skilled in the art of turning various
metals into gold *cough..deception..cough*, and gained a
rather good reputation from some of the lower nobility
(aka the ones who didn't see through the lies). News of
his concoctions and skills reached the ears of a rather
shady group of mercenaries, thieves, and cutthroats who
offered membership and protection in return for access
to the various nasty poisons, explosive concoctions, and
his methods of deception that he could think up. He
accepted there offer and can now be found in and
around Austria and southern Germany fighting along
side them or cooking up the various concoctions for them
from his home near Salzburg. It is heard that he is still
making gold for some of the local nobles.
