Biography
Zosimos of Panopolis was the first magician to
successfully combine science and magic into a
discipline that would come to be called Alchemy,
which he then used to ensure his own immortality
through the preservation and manipulation of flesh.
With the ravages of time conquered, he continued
to study the building blocks of life and refine his
craft, eventually leading to the construction of his
first “fleshchild”, stolen flesh laid over a constructed
skeleton given temporary life via magic. Over the
ages, he made these simulacra more realistic, using
them to gather secrets and manipulate the world.
Heroes have encountered his creations many times
over the years, and he has even created fleshchild
versions of the heroes to sow discord. He has
not been seen for some years after his last defeat
at the hands of the hero Writhe, but with his
proven ability to survive as well as to create
fleshchild versions of himself, no one
believes that he is gone for good.
Capabilities and Motivations
Biomancer is a master of indirect plots, orchestrating
events that result in other villains and heroes
to dance to his unseen strings. He can create
fleshchildren that are identical to the original, even
to the point where the fleshchild thinks that it IS
the original. His creations infiltrate society, fooling
even close friends and family as they work towards
his goals. With a DNA sample from a person with
powers, he can create a fleshchild that can use that
person’s powers, though without a steady supply
of that person’s DNA, the fleshchild will rapidly
degrade. Biomancer’s plots are labyrinthian to
the point where even a hero victory may well be
simply part of his larger plan. They can take years to
come to fruition as he moves pieces into place, and
he is quite content to remain in the background
indefinitely if all is going according to plan.
Upgrades
Biomancer has improved at fleshchild creation,
making them more realistic and durable. With
his ability to create fleshchildren that think they
are real, anyone could actually be his minion, just
waiting for the activation order.
