	The Alchemist
Seen here in his laboratory around c. 1350, in the famous picture, 'In Search of the Black Rose'.From the ancient origins of Albion, through the pagan groves of time, evolved the warlords and the mystics and the kings and the clerics, who forged the course of history in the Northlands. From them came the acolytes and the emergence of one of the most powerful forces in Dark Age Britain….The Alchemist. The Alchemist was the forerunner of all scientists, a philosopher, occultist and some-time cleric. He pioneered the foundations of chemistry and crossed the tenuous bridge from mortality to spirituality, both in search of knowledge and the truth and as Amzer, to deliver his prodigious, theosophic charge. Using the knowledge and the wisdom filtered down through time from the ancients, The Chaldeans, The Alchemist strives ceaselessly to accomplish the Great Work, the Opus Magnus, to discover the Elixir of Life, the Philosopher's Stone; the perfection of the soul, and to succeed in his prodigious assignment, The Mission.
