Backstory
Fizzlecog discovered his passion for chemistry as a child mixing household substances (with explosive results). He's since become one of Gearhaven's leading industrial chemists, developing compounds for manufacturing, agriculture, and medicine. His work has improved countless products and processes across Landorya.
Daily Life
His days are spent in the Chemical Works, conducting experiments, analyzing samples, and developing new compounds. He frequently works through the night when pursuing promising leads. His meals are irregular and often consumed while observing reactions.
Secret
Fizzlecog has accidentally created a compound with properties he doesn't fully understand—it seems to react with magical energy in unpredictable ways. He's terrified of this knowledge being used for harmful purposes and has hidden his research.
