Name: Apothecary Vladimir Age: 45 Dragon your the Hero of: Cerpetin Personality: Fearful of death, he combats his terror of his own mortality by understanding it. He works very hard to know all he can about the human body and its function, this desire has given him a cold calculation when it comes to his work. over many years he has become numb to witnessing death and the dead, but he still can not face his own mortality and desires to live as long as possible. History: when he was young, his parents and siblings where taken by a plague that had ravaged his homeland. Vladimir was spared but the loss crushed the innocence from him. He was taken to be the apprentice under an Apothecary who trained him in herbs, minerals and crystals. He became well versed in herbal remedies and (non-magical) potions. As he became old enough to truly understand why he was learning such things and what had happened to his family the grim fascination with death was sparked within him. It was not an evil or cruel motivation, he just wanted to know, to understand. as he learned the fear of his own death grew within him. he was afflicted with a crushing despair. For if he, and everyone else dies, what does it matter? in a thousand years what will my actions mean? the despair was the tainted soil in which grew a purity of desire, he worked furiously in two ways. the first was the study of Alchemical and Medical sciences. This study was an attempt to prolong life and keep the body as healthy and strong as possible and to heal the damage cause by injury or disease. this study directly fed into his other labor, he donated himself wholly to aiding the population wherever he went. curing he sick whenever possible or healing those wounded by accident or violence. eventually this lead him into being recruited by the armies of the Atreites during the war with the Harkonan. however he was disliked when the army found out that he was healing all of those wounded in the battles, Atreites and Harkonan.
