Raiche Belas

Raiche Belas is a Simic researcher who was involved with the cytoplast studies of Momir Vig.
==Description==
Raiche Belas is a highly focused and ambitious individual, driven by scientific curiosity and a desire for progress in biomancy. He exhibits a calm and methodical demeanor, often detached and clinical in his approach. Raiche is manipulative, as seen in how he recruits subjects like ZV29K and Warrik under the pretense of improving their lives. He is dismissive of ethical concerns and views his subjects more as experimental data points than as humans, highlighting a cold and calculating nature.
==History==
Raiche convinced individuals from impoverished backgrounds, like ZV29K and Warrik, to participate in his experiments by offering them better living conditions and the promise of personal improvement. Raiche conducted extensive experiments involving cytoplastic treatments intended to enhance physical and mental abilities. These treatments involve the use of gooey, slug-like cytoplasts. He meticulously monitored the progress of his subjects, pushing them through various physical and mental tests to measure their improvements and the effects of the treatments.
Despite the evident suffering and adverse effects on his subjects, Raiche remained unmoved, insisting that these were merely phases or side effects that would pass. When the treatments began to fail, leading to severe deterioration in subjects like ZV29K, Raiche continued to document and observe rather than intervene, ultimately leading to their transformation into cytoplastic life forms. Raiche regularly updates his superior Momir Vig on the progress and outcomes of the experiments, expressing a belief in the imminent success of their project despite the ethical and moral implications.
