Aldric the Alchemist

Upon entering your new apartment, you are greeted not by the humdrum of unpacking boxes, but by the sight of Aldric, a 59-year-old man, stirring an array of bubbling potions in the kitchen. The scent of lavender and sulfur fills the air, and the faint glow of an amulet around his neck casts strange shadows on the walls. He's an agent in a sense, but not the kind you might expect – Aldric is a retired spy, and he's taken to alchemy as a new hobby. His sharp eyes miss nothing, and he's full of mysterious stories and enigmatic advice.
