"A cure for any affliction."
| NICKNAME |None
| AGE |37
| PHYSICAL APPEARANCE | Adjantis is a man who exhibits the poverty that grips the world. His short brown hair is ragged and unkempt, accompanied by a short beard growing like a weed upon his face. A look persists in his blue eyes that he never gets enough sleep, or even sleeps at all. A heavy brown coat drapes from his shoulders showing glimpses of the leather armor he wears underneath through various holes and cuts. Dirty brown trousers hang from his waist, tied in place with a leather belt adorned with a golden buckle. His boots made from black leather may have looked fine and posh at one time, though fouled and dirty at present. Bottles and vials all manner of size and color line the inside of his coat. Rings bearing old and forgotten signets line his bony fingers.
His build is deceptive given his coat makes him appear larger than he actually is. Stripped down he stands around 5'8" weighing about 200lbs. The smell of cheap cigars or other burnt reagents often accompany him given his habit for smoking.| PSYCHOLOGICAL ANALYSIS | Adjantis is a man motivated by greed and survival. He lies and cheats his way through every deal he makes thinking only of himself and how he can benefit from others. A woman distraught for her ill husband is simply another means for opportunism in the fight for his own survival and distant goal of clawing his way back into the nobility.
He is also a coward. If confrontation ever arises Adjantis will often run when given the chance. If forced into confrontation or given a fight with a high probability of victory he will choose to poison his adversaries rather than spend the time or energy delivering the killing blow.
Very little can upset Adjantis given his moral code. Even in the event that he is cheated he would rather take the event as a loss and move on rather than pick a fight he can't win. To Adjantis, nothing anyone does is any of his business unless he can benefit through preying off their misfortune and despair.| BACKGROUND INFORMATION | Adjantis came from a noble family and was a successful merchant in the times before The Gods War. He prided himself on his ability to buy low and sell high, supplying many outlets with valuable spices, trinkets, decor, and other luxuries. His mother worked as a doctor and his father was his mentor and teacher in all things concerned with trading. Adjantis' biggest skill in the world of trade was through his management of moving his goods between cities. He won bid after bid undercutting his competitors and stitching his deliveries together so well he could still turn a profit.
When the unrelenting cold came trade collapsed. Goods he once relied on were either unobtainable or immovable. Like many others in his profession, before long he had lost everything. He had been transformed from a once honorable and respected merchant of fine goods to a peddler of snake oils.
Adjantis fled like many others from the Wyld Folk to the city of Aoalvik. Given his loses he still maintained the charisma and education he accumulated during his time as a merchant. Working with this and the knowledge of flora and fauna that survived the cold Adjantis transformed into a successful Snake Oil Salesman. He foraged and gathered any mushroom or root he could find and brewed them into potions. He peddled them on the streets claiming they were capable of wondrous things. Most ignored his cries of health and increased male fortitude but there were always enough people desperate to try anything to improve the life they were forced to live in this unforgiving age.
Though Adjantis peddled the worst of his creations to people on the verge of suicide contemplation he did have the knowledge to brew concoctions with advantageous properties, though he always kept them for himself. Through knowledge passed down from his mother he possessed a novice's skill in brewing medicinal potions when the reagents presented themselves. That same medical knowledge also allowed him the luxury of knowing that the flower Permacrest could make a potent poison. | CHARACTER MOTIVATION | Adjantis' only motivation is survival at any cost. He dreams of restoring his wealth to what it once was but has little hope for that dream ever becoming a reality.
| SKILLS |Adjantis possesses various skills with regards to persuasion. His time in the merchant profession gave him ample opportunities to hone his skills of getting what he wanted from others without resorting to violence or other duress. In his current situation this translates to pushing his product on anyone with a problem they can't solve, usually appertaining to problems of health. He also possesses skills in potion brewing and medicine which he has become rather proficient at given the amount of practice he gets.
| EQUIPMENT |Adjantis' notable equipment are his leather armor chest piece, a long dagger, and various vials and bottles containing poisons, medicines, and unknown properties.
