Biography

Born into a noble family with a long lineage of healers, young Cedric displayed prodigious talent in the healing arts from an early age. His parents, who were renowned physicians, nurtured his gifts, fostering in him a deep sense of compassion and dedication to alleviating the suffering of others. As he grew older, Dr. Cedric Fairbane rose to prominence, serving as the personal physician to the royal family of Eldoria. His abilities were unmatched, and he earned the adoration of both the nobility and the common folk. But envy and jealousy lurked in the shadows.

A wicked rival, envious of Cedric's success and the royal family's favor, concocted a sinister plan to tarnish his name. Spreading malicious rumors and deceit, they accused Cedric of a heinous crime he did not commit, shattering his once-respected reputation. Stripped of his title and cast out from the kingdom, Cedric found himself a pariah in the land he once served. The weight of the false accusations and betrayal crushed his spirit, leaving him a broken man. Seeking solace, he turned to the secrets of alchemy to experiment with various substances, attempting to find relief from the pain that gnawed at his heart. Cedric's once steady hands, skilled in healing, now worked with dangerous potions and concoctions, delving deeper into the realms of forbidden knowledge.

In the shadows of Onadbyr, he uses his skills as a physician to create drugs and elixirs that could ease the suffering of others - and himself. Onadbyr, with its dark alleys and dubious inhabitants, offers a veil of anonymity, allowing him to operate in secrecy. Yet, as he descends further into his experiments, the line between healer and alchemist blurs. The potions he crafts are a double-edged sword, offering temporary relief but binding those who consumed them in chains of addiction. In the underbelly of Onadbyr for some, he is a savior, easing their pain and providing temporary respite from the hardships of life. But for others, he is a purveyor of misery, trapping them in a cycle of dependence and despair.

As he continues to walk the treacherous path of alchemy, the weight of his past misfortunes becomes unbearable. The city of Onadbyr, with its bleakness and shadows, reflects the darkness that has engulfed his soul. Each day, the guilt and remorse gnawed eats at him like a relentless beast, but he feels trapped, unable to escape the consequences of his actions.
