Farvald Kerner
Transmogrifer Farvald Kerner (a.k.a. "EvilSeed")
Note:
- Master Kerner, born to the Undead Bloodline, joined The Ministry in order to NOT become truly undead. He attempted to transmute his innate gifts into life, by focusing his studies on the cultivation and uses of magical plants.
- Master Kerner quickly worked his way up the political structure to the rank of Ministry Transmogrifer. He now has custody of an extra-planar captive for research purposes.
- Master Kerner has been 5th level for a particularly long time.
- Master Kerner has, in fact, been leveling up in being a moss-lich.
- Master Kerner accepted the Purgatory Gulch contract as a chance to investigate how life thrives in this seemingly inhospitable environment.
- Master Kerner has not yet managed to invent new plants. He has converted some of the existing farm plants into monstrous and possibly undead plants, instead.
- Master Kerner has set the farmers to work smoking the Hell Bovine carcasses down to form more effective compost for his nefarious projects.
- Scaevola Aemula would gladly tell someone how to find Master Kerner's Rejuvenating Seed and destroy it before killing the sorcerer himself, if she were able.
