[center][h2][color=007236]Mathigyle Dieruynx[/color][/h2]
[color=007236]Age:[/color] ??? (Ancient)
[color=007236]Gender:[/color] M
[color=007236]Species:[/color] Undead (Lich)

[color=007236]Powers/Abilities:[/color] Mastery of alchemy and potion-crafting, knowledge of necromantic and dark energy casting, ability to manipulate his and other souls through destruction, storing, and renewal. Any who approach Mathigyle will feel the temperature of their bodies significantly decrease the closer they get.

[color=007236]Appearance:[/color] Mathigyle wears faded, earthen robes at all times that drag behind him, much like his bleach white beard. Besides the beard, he has a sad comb-over of hair atop his scalp. His gait is shuffling at its fastest. He wears glasses three sizes too large atop eyes with pupils lost long ago. The hunch of his back rises above the crown of his head. Mathigyle often brands a lingering, teeth-exposing smile that is genuine in nature but often terrifies the children. If not carrying something, Mathigyle's arms would bend outward and his wrists would drip as a Tyrannosaurus, almost as old as he. It's difficult to say what his body and legs look like, as he's often wearing so many layers that he appears to be a dirty pile of laundry moving about. 

[color=007236]Backstory: [/color]From what the school has gathered in the bits and pieces they've managed to wrestle from him, Mathigyle was of the original alchemists in the golden age, where the philosopher's stone was greater than myth and disciples wandered the sandy wastes in order to discover the true secrets of alchemy. Mathigyle was of those disciples, yet he had no master, only a fellow disciple friend who shared the motivation and will to continue on without a teacher. Upon a fated day, a sandstorm overtook the pair and they were forced to take refuge within a cave. The cave, as it were, held a terrible secret inscribed on the walls: immortality. 

Beyond his "death" and journeys in the Underworld, Mathigyle inherited the innate ability to control necrotic energy and the dead, for he was unliving, and so the ancient alchemical pact granted it to him. 
To this day, Mathigyle appears to guard the secret to alchemical eternity. Yet he feels the drive to share other alchemical knowledge with any who will hear him, as to discover the infinite field that is alchemy, one must teach its ways. He cannot do it alone, nor would he like to. And Madam Lilith's has been the prime institution for his... eccentric teachings since it first opened.

[color=007236]Personality:[/color] Curious, odd, and potentially dangerous given his lack of attention to things. Mathigyle is a brilliant yet unfocused alchemist who sometimes spontaneously speaks to some sort of invisible entity only known as "Jeffrey". For some reason, speaking to "Jeffrey" is of the rare moments Mathigyle is shown to express true rage. At other times, he can be quite cordial and enjoyable to be around.

[color=007236]Friends/Family:[/color] Mostly dead, but often befriends new students, given they survive his course(s)
[color=007236]Crush/Relationships:[/color] Deceased; none current
