Bertrand

Bertrand is an alchemist, apothecary and loremaster currently residing in the castle of Widow's Watch in Eriabourne.
== History and Personality ==
Bertrand once owned a tiny corner apothecary in the city of Wolfridge in Bruanon, but it was robbed of nearly all of its stock one day leaving the alchemist penniless and unable to work. Determined to start anew, Bertrand took ship from Snowhaven and sailed to Castaport in the Grey Marches, travelling from there to various towns as a travelling apothecary. His caravan grew steadily more impressive as he wound his way through the High Forest, past Tommen's Crossing, through Husk and into Eriabourne. However, on the road from Eriabourne city to Brenna, bandits attacked. Expecting death, Bertrand made his final farewells to the gods.
The timely intervention of the Children of the Sun saved Bertrand's life; Hagen and Laisha drove off the bandits and saw Bertrand safely to the town of Watermeet. Bertrand thanked Laisha profusely, and she told him he could stay at Rosewood Hall until he found more suitable accommodation.
== Skills and Powers ==
Bertrand is a talented alchemist and is capable of creating powerful magical potions from monstrous or magical ingredients. His speciality seems to be the making of potions from monster parts, and he has given a full list of the potions he can make to the party. He can also apparently cast very minor spells.
== In the Campaign ==
Bertrand met Azuk, Keldin, Osfryd and Elijah at Laisha's feast at Rosewood Hall, where he offered them his services as an alchemist. On this occasion, he also sold a potion of Psionics Resistance to Azuk in order to deal with the mental attacks of the mind flayer Shulk.
Bertrand later took the oath of the Bloodsworn and moved into Widow's Watch. He was until recently sharing the "lab," with the individual Mallarus, whom he found both unpleasant and frightening. However, since Mallarus' death, he has this chamber to himself.
