Bio

Vrach was born to quite a normal family of peasant farmers. He was the 3rd child out of 7 in the family and didn't stand out much. Since youth he took a lot of interest in flora and fauna (and what happens if you rub them against a rock), so he left his house at the age of 7 (with premission from his parents) to be an apprentice of a doctor in a large town's local clinic. There he studied how to treat people, wether the problem is a wound or disease, and how to concut potions of various types.

Although when the doctor died Vrach inherited the clinic, he was 16 and wasn't feeling very up to becoming the new doctor. Instead, he sold the clinic and departed. His journey lasted 15 years, during which he travelled the world and studied it's flora, fauna and even rocks more professionaly. Upon reaching the age of 27 he decided to briefly visit his home before going to a major city where he studied alchemy for 3 years. After that, he retreated into the mountains. Although he meant to become a hermit, he told too many people of his location and, due to many refferences, his hermitage turned into a clinic.

When not treating patients, Vrach liked experimenting with various new combinations. He also studied the difference between the blood of his patients, and since his patients paid a lot, he managed to get his hands on good magical equipment, furthering his studies. One day he decided to try tweaking his own blood sample. At that time, his only intention was to have fun experimenting and even a little daydreaming. He tweaked it into being the constructive blood of a taller, stronger, quicker version of him. Of course, there was nothing he could do with it at that time.

Around the time he hit 40, a powerful mage visted him. He wasn't too hard for Vrach to cure, but the mage insisted that money could never suffice as his thanks. Vrach, although his intention was to joke, asked for a spell that can construct a complete body from a single drop of blood. The mage, to Vrach's surprise, actualy promised to return soon with exactly what he wanted. The mage did return, carrying a scroll so large and heavy it could easily be used as a club, giving Vrach an entire book containing instructions on how to use it. The process was complex, but within 3 months, Vrach had his "masterpiece" ready.

Eranor, as he called him, had his exact face. He, however, was taller, stronger, faster... Another thing Vrach added before activating the scroll was new eyes. Those ones were gray, and had a hidden secret to them... They could see the weakest spots in objects and people, the places were things "break" more easily. That, however, was not enough. Taking his knowledge of alchemy and the like, Vrach turned a simple hunter's knife into a lethal weapon in Eranor's hands. Normally, it was still just a hunter's knife, but if it slices across the spots of weakness seen by Eranor's gray eyes, it would split the target clean into two pieces, even if the target's thickness was greater than the blade's length. A living target could never regenrate such a cut, since it corrupts the bodily points at the cut's area, to boot.

Eranor,however, acted nothing like his creator. Apperantly Vrach didn't know all the bodily modifications would affect the mind, and didn't know how to fix it. After a year of living with Vrach, Eranor just up and left. Soon after that, Vrach heared that someone who has his face but looks younger is murduring people left and right. Although he was heartbroken, he decided to create another one like Eranor, but this time, it will be one with a decent personality. He spent around 20 years researching what controls the mind's build in the blood, and then re-used the scroll to create Iskatyl.

Iskatyl is some sort of a "nicer twin" of Eranor. He is was not as fast as his "brother", but he was a kind soul. Iskatyl studied the ways of the world in his creator's home for about 3 years, and then, being given a new knife, looking exactly like the one his "brother" holds, he departed to search for him, still kind yet innocent, leaving Vrach alone.

Vrach is more than feeling his old age now, but refuses to let the youngsters stay in the spotlight. Nowdays, he works on finding a way to make himself useful...
