Famous Alchemists of Krystallos
Fadi Bahij ibn Nahid al-Zaman
Also known as Fadi the Cheerful, this kobold was born in the 195 year of the Age of the Verdant Forest in the Citrine Wastes. He didn't have the best start in life, as an orphan he bounced from orphanage to orphanage, until during his early adolescence he ran away to Ferric.
Little is known of what happened between arriving at Ferric and when he started dabbling in alchemy. He isn't heard of until his name appears as one of the apprentice architects that designed the great pyramids of the Citrine Wastes. His mentor, Salamah 'Ammar ibn Wi'am al-Yasif (see companion book, Great Architects of Krystallos) was a dabbler in alchemy and it is from this exposure that Fadi the Cheerful started his lifelong exploration into the study of alchemy.
He is most famous for his writings and experimentations in the creation of artificial life. His most famous writing includes a recipe for creating a living scorpion that could be fully controlled by the creator. He is touted as the father of alchemical simulacrum, for if it were not for his research and discovery we would not be where we are today in the field.
Fadi was integral in the early classification of elements into metals and non-metals, coming up with the categories of spirits, metals and non-malleable substances.
In his later years, he traveled extensively and shared his alchemical knowledge far and wide. It was these wanderings that led him to met with contemporary alchemist Godfrey Meinhert. Together they instituted the Alchemical Society which became the Alchemists Guild that we know today.
Fadi’s death is a mystery. Most believe that he finally succeeded in creating artificial life in the form of the scorpion, but he was unable to control it and he was killed by the very thing he created
