Alchemist Thor of the Keep
Thor was nothing if not studious. From the early ages of childhood, Thor excelled heavily at academia, out-learning his parents (the Duke and Duchess of Muliaran) and every single peer. Shortly after he turned 8, he was sent away to a boarding school that specialized in alchemy and herbology.
This was done mostly to save the sanity of the parents who could barely keep the poor kid engaged, let alone happy and fulfilled! In the long run, it was the best thing for Thor, as he was able to push much farther past the boundaries in terms of education.
He spent the next 5 years living, studying and learning with some of the realm's top botanists and alchemists. He connected heavily with the unusual flora and fauna that was used in the more creative potions (say, invisibility and love potions). He learned everything they had to offer him and more.
What was usually an 8 year stay for most alchemists, Thor did in less than 6. Easily the top performer the entire time, he garnered much good favor from his professors. After the school decided he had learned everything they could teach They offered him a research grant and a role within the prestigious, Royal Alchemist's Guild.
He was assigned to be the Queen's royal alchemist, where he would serve a range of needs from mystical to mundane. Once in the royal court, he was quickly adopted by the Court Wizard, Enullus. The two quickly became good friends and spent much time together, devising new spells and potions, usually to fix some ridiculously ordinary problem.
Knowledge of the alchemist's abilities spread far and wide, garnering the attention of many royal families throughout the realm, thus bringing many visitors to his kingdom seeking his help. From everyday injuries to supposed possessions, he never turned down someone asking for help. He even rid a town of it's kobold problem through poison. (Not his finest moment, but the kobolds were eating all the children, so...)
Due to the overwhelming requests for help, Thor founded a small operation called "Alchemist Allies" to help him address the issues of the entire kingdom. He was able to quite swiftly find volunteers once he put the word out, and it was in no time at all before he had a small contingent of quite powerful (but strangely friendly) wizards.
With a little assistance from the Queen, Thor was able to outfit the entire kingdom with resident Royal Alchemists, who were to reside in each town's Church. The group has managed to keep things fairly tame in their small corner of the realm, but with strange things on the horizon, it's just a matter of time...
