Saathos of Lys ( b. 393 AC) is an alchemist/apothecary serving in the court of the Lady of Sunstone, Aemma Vunatis, and a merchant from Lys who trades in herbs, scents, chemicals and medicinal products, but his real commerce comes from his operations in the black market of the Narrow Sea, selling potions, poison, drugs, books about black magic, magical items in general and even human parts.

Appearance

Saathos has a skinny build, being 1,78 cm tall. He's blonde with a thick beard and well groomed mustache, always wearing scents on his beard. His face is often painted with black paintings on his eyes, nose and cheekbones, ritualistic symbols he claims help him show his devotion to the Gods. His attire consists of several turbans, cloacks and blouses, as well as several jewels and gold medals strapped and hang from his headwear.

History

Little is known about the life of Saathos of Lys. Lady Aemma met him during her childhood in the city, where he was a thief and a begger. Saathos, even back then, had extensive practical knowledge of botany and alchemy, something he claims he learned from his old master back when he was a slave in Qarth. Aemma helped him withs funds, furthering his studies in the arts of potion-making and the arcane by aiding him to reach into the black market of Lys in order to bring eastern items from across the Summer Sea.

Saathos quickly befriended Aemma, the two often escaping to have fun on Lysene taverns, gardens and even pleasure houses. Aemma brought him during her voyages to the Jade Sea disguised as a sailor, where he helped her study blood magic, fire magic and rituals. Saathos would part ways with Aemma after her betrayal of her father, Vice-Admiral Silvario Vunatis. At Lys, he would build for himself an apothecary shop where he would sells scents, chemicals, medicine and herbs, as well as serving as a façade for his black market operations, trading in bones, human parts, exotic creatures, sacred oils, books of dark magic and poisons.

After Aemma's return to the west and takeover of Sunstone, she visited him at his apothecary shop and invited him to her court, serving as her alchemist and right hand. His shady deals and his extensive arcane knowledge have aided Aemma on her rituals and quest to further her abilities as well. Saathos goals are religious, as he believes Aemma is favoured by the Gods, but also monetary as with her he can expand his undercover network of clients even further.
