Osfryd Zaunus

Osfryd Zaunus was a player character from the early days, and appeared as a major NPC in the Legends of Tyrrus.
=== Background ===
Osfryd was particularly interested in alchemy, and spent most of his life performing wild experiments, testing the boundaries of science. Osfryd did things that nobody else would have even thought of, and as such he was the single most innovative alchemist of his time.
Osfryd is credited with the advancement of Health elixirs, the invention of the combustion engine, the classification of many exotic alchemical ingredients, and the creation of a substance that could allow someone to see into the future. it is said that before his death, Osfryd was close to creating the legendary panacea, cure to all diseases. However he is also known for many other, much stranger and less useful, creations. Osfryd's "potion of absurdity" is infamous, known for eliciting completely random effects.
In 20.15, Osfryd went on an expedition beyond the Sunset mountains, along with his sister Kaylibeth-Joanne, and a mercenary named Ace. They were among the first Tyrraneans to discover the mysterious region of Hirokir, and Osfryd discovered many useful alchemical materials in the exotic jungles.
In 20.16, Osfryd was named the Archmage of Alchemy by the High Chancellors of Haven, after the previous archmage died during the Second Undead Invasion of Haven.
In 20.17, the Saviours arrived at Varawyn, to rescue Mina Frost from the clutches of Hartley Rochester and the Cult of the Blackspire. Osfryd himself had been fighting against the Cult, and so aided them in their endeavours. With the Saviours' aid, Osfryd managed to take over the Cult's territory in the Underfog.
Later that year, when Cedric Gallows and Dr Steiner were named Archmages, Osfryd attended the ceremony, and helped them against the terrible creatures which invaded the ceremony. He also provided Dr Steiner with a four-wheeled motor driven contraption, which he named a "quad-bike".
Osfryd was present at the Battle of the Blackspire, and provided a major contribution, driving his terrifying alchemically-powered carriage through the battlefield, and spewing a variety of fantastic concoctions at the Black Legion.
=== Relatives ===
Osfryd was the second-eldest child of the Zaunus family, one of the four major families of Varawyn. His elder brother was Osric, his younger brother was Osworth, and his younger sister was Kaylibeth-Joanne.
Despite never being married, Osfryd did have a child, which he strangely named Zero-One. Nobody knew who this child's mother was, and there was much speculation. There was even a rumour that Zero-One was an artificial human, created as a clone of Osfryd.
Zero-One's children, Osfryd's grand-children, are named Kaylarisa and Oskar
