Backstory
Mire was born from the first poison ever brewed, and he's been making toxins ever since. His poisons are legendary—capable of killing gods, curing diseases, or simply making wine taste better. But he's terrified of what his creations can do, of the harm they might cause.
Daily Life
He spends his days brewing poisons, his nights testing them (on himself), and his rare free moments cataloging his collection. He hasn't left his bog in five centuries.
