His father owns an apothecary shop in the northern region of Stormalong, but only offers the standard salves, elixers, and remedies.

## Crimson Flow Mortuary & Apothecary

Located in the southern region of Stormalong, the CMFA acts is publicly advertised as a mortuary and apothecary. Baster is known for his experimental remedies, many of which work far better than the standard. When the Physics methods fail, people turn to him. Alabaster is also an Aster (though he has no true alliance with the Southern Pantheon, the title provides better business) and performs funeral rites under Lockaster for people of all classes. The majority of his business, in that regard, comes from Cantilesblood and Shitbloods who cannot afford the high prices of the official Aster ceremonies or are turned away due to their Blood Caste. Though he never had official training, Alabaster claimed the title and says he was trained by an Aster in an outer village of Terresol. No one has been able to confirm his story.

## The Black Market

After the fall of Stormalong crime became rampant throughout the city and many of these dealings were performed in public. However, with the re-established government members were forced underground. Alabaster, as an upstanding member of the community, is not known to be involved because he participates under and alias and disguise. However, his specialty on the market is poison, organs, ashes and the opportunity to dissect fresh bodies if he comes across them.

## Personality and Appearance

Alabaster is reserved, but observant, often scrutinizing everyone he comes into contact with. Due to the nature of his position in the community, he is careful with how he presents himself in front of people. To those who know him well, Alabaster has a talent for the dramatic and is very theatrical during funeral rites. Alone in his shop, he has an eye for details and can be very demanding of those who assist him.

Upon first glance, one may think the man is severely malnourished, but Alabaster is extraordinarily pale due to the lack of sunlight. He spends nearly all of his time inside the shop and dungeon preparing for services that the only light he enjoys daily is that of the furnace flames. His green eyes protrude from his sockets, giving him an almost haunted look, though they often come across as unfocused or blank. His fingers are longer than average, but skin is smooth and well-taken care of and his hands steady, which comes in handy during organ extraction.
