Mental characteristics

Personal history

Aamund Torleifsson comes from a large city called Baggertha, the ruling force of which is known as the Baggerthan Inquisition. They are a fairly racist and dominating presence. The Inquisition doesn't just hunt people based on race; people adept in some schools of the arcane are also hunted.

Aamund has managed to keep his arcane prowess hidden. He is part of the Baggerthan Alchemical Alliance, a group of alchemists based in Baggertha who were sorely needed during the last plague. Aamund was one of the fronting alchemists during this trying time and he earned a title for his efforts.

When the plague was subdued he decided to travel to the new frontier in search of adventure and to do what he could to help the people of this new town.

Heterosexual

Failures & Embarrassments

Aamund has not seen too many failures but he has, in secrecy, tried a few experiments on humans and humanoids. This is seen as strictly taboo and he is not especially proud of it.

Mental Trauma

Aamund has had to conceal his arcane nature from the Inquisition which has caused him to become slightly paranoid when talking about magic.

Intellectual Characteristics

Aamund is smart and tends to obsess over new alchemical findings. He has an almost eidetic tendency to remember recipes and such, but does keep a journal of his findings and the like.

His patron is The Great Old One Hastur, The Yellow King, The King of Madness. But to hide this fact he tries to be as good as a devout follower of Galloran he can be.
