Vicero Belago

Vicero Belago was an alchemist who conducted his work at the Edificant Library in the early 1360s DR.

Description
The resident alchemist was known to produce several volatile potions, leading to his laboratory blowing up on occasion. A prime example of this is when the Chaos Curse was let loose upon the library, which led to the destruction of the workplace.

Abilities
The skilled alchemist concocted several oils, especially the oil of impact, a destructive substance often used to coat crossbow bolts.

Relationships
Vicero was Cadderly Bonaduce's friend, and believed him a hero. He often undertook a few privately funded tasks for Cadderly, mainly brewing expensive oils.

History
In 1362 DR, after Cadderly had defeated his arch-nemesis and father, Aballister Bonaduce, Dean Thobicus angrily demanded Belago to see him. The alchemist readily made his way to see the dean, who berated him. Thobicus, who was involved in a power struggle with Vicero's friend Cadderly, did not trust him. The dean enacted his powers upon the wiry alchemist; Vicero stiffened and fell back out of the room.The wiry alchemist then fled to Carradoon.

Belago later appeared in the library, where he met up with Cadderly and his companions. Belago offered Cadderly further oils of impact, but was very anxious and scared of the idea of dealing with the undead in the library, to the point of physically trembling. When asked if he wished to leave it to the others, the alchemist gained resolve and became a great help to the companions.
